Which language do you think is best suited to singing?

[Avenio]

Klingon.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Welsh, clearly.

Really helps to clear your throat.

Gaelic, gods, why did I forget Gaelic.

[Quintium]

Welsh, clearly.

A few weeks ago, I was in Wales. I was surprised by how rough that language sounded.

Well, to each their own I guess... So which languages DO you like?

English. And usually, that's it.

I find English SO bland. Honestly, IMHO it sounds like gibberish when spoken and has no 'personality' when sang.

Dutch is like the more lovely and sexy version of it.

[Hetalian Indie Rio de Janeiro]

All your reasons are why my post was actually not serious.

Meh. Written Bulgarian and Hungarian sound rough. Yet when sung, they sound sublime.

Pretty much my reaction to Russian and Arabic music.

Turkish sounds good too. I'm not much of a fan of Russian. Greek, I'm conflicted.

[Nationalist State of Knox]

Sumerian.

Urukian music is amongst the finest in the world.

[Khalkazia]

Most languages are beautiful in their own way when singing the songs of their nation.

Personally, I think many of the Central Asian languages (particularly the Turco-Mongol ones) sound very nice when sung.

I'm not even sure if you people are serious anymore. If so, can you explain why?
As someone who was born and raised Dutch, I find it difficult to see anything good about Dutch as a singing language.

[Trotskylvania]

I'm having a hard time really accepting that there's really universalizable textural traits to any given language. I don't think you can really say any language inherently sounds "harsh", or "smooth".

Just compare "99 Luftballons" by Nena with "Tanz Mit Laibach" by Laibach.

[Olthar]

English, Japanese, or Russian.

To be honest... I don't particularly like Dutch either... But I like Afrikaans... Hmmm...

[Nervium]

Norwegian.
Because badass.

[Middleton St George]

Latin (for chants etc.), Russian for military songs, French otherwise

[Great Kleomentia]

English, Serbian, Russian and Celtic.

It's the double ll's and gh's/ch's mainly, and yeah, it does have a sort of throatiness to it.

Whereas in Dutch all that sounds like you're having a major throat seizure or you're hacking up yer lungs...

[Hetalian Indie Rio de Janeiro]

I don't see what's so ugly about velar and post-velar fricatives.

Weird vowels with a throaty element, ok, but the consonants? Meh.

It's one of the rudest languages in the world.

You're only saying that to avoid potential immigrants...

I used to drive to work innocently listening to some music station when they'd put on a cover some American (what have you) rock song...in Dutch. The first that happened I nearly drove into a ditch. The second time nearly into the rear end of another car. The third time I did it on purpose to piss myself off when I had a particularly shitty meeting to go to.
