Italian is the language of music, idiot.

Chinese is the language of Ancient wisdom.

>>14222387

Italian sound like a medieval bard seeking his muse.

Isn't German the language ofscience and engineering?

English is a language for commerce and ((merchants))

>>14222814
I love the occasionally browsing through BBC's pidgin articles section. I always get a good chuckle because the titles and the article all look like some five-year-olds wrote them. I like trying to guess which language some of the non-English words are from as well.

Vietnamese is the language of making americans cry at night in remembrance of their shameful defeat

>>14222379
>germans sounds like the language of war and agression
This is your mind on American propaganda.

>>14222392

>>14222379
German is quite literally the language of everything save perhaps architecture, science and engineering.

>>14222379
>English is the language of science and engineering

lol no. Just no.

>>14226560
maybe philosophy and autism.

german is dogshit for expressing love.

>>14222379
lol

No tonal language can be melodious. Chinese is trash for singing unless you sing "flat" on purpose but then no one understands you. Maybe ancient Chinese was good since it was non-tonal.

>>14222379
After learning a lot of Spanish I don't understand "language of love" at all. It's totally robotic. Maybe it's just how my brain processes it?

>>14227875
listen don quixote read by a spaniard.

spanish isn't the best romance language for love, maybe is the best to talk to God.

italian and french are better for love.

>>14222379
Honestly, when German is spoken in a relaxed manner it's quite soothing. It's dynamic.

>>14222560
>every language should use latin letters

>>14227905
Danke Schön,Anon

Bump. Portuguese is a sweet sounding Romance tongue

>>14228246
only the brazilian one, pt-pt sounds like russian or polish

>>14222379
I just don’t understand why you choose Chinese as the language of music. Ignore the brain dead woman bait posters. I could understand Chinese being the language of poetry or maxims or something, but music? First of all, due to maderan and related languages tonal nature, natural speaking doesnt sound melodious at all, as tone indicates meaning. Also, the musical culture of China is so much less influential than the literary, culinary etc parts of Chinese culture that is so impactful.

Also if you have heard modern Chinese music, it is sterile as fuck. More formulaic than even modern western music. Both of which being a reduction from earlier western, specifically Italian styles.

>>14226434
>based Land beyond the Forest
language of mysticism, sacred geography and organized crime anon

>>14228481
dunno bro, but chinese is really musical.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdeyzqEe8XY

I think arabic and hindi is also very musical.

>>14222379
These are all absurd and show you have no fucking depth in any of these languages, or know any. The most normie shit you can do is say hurr durr german sounds like shouting hurr durr russian is such an aggressive language. Listen to schuberts lieder if you think that german is ugly. Chinese have a shit musical tradition also i dont know wtf your going on about. Theres only one fucking religious text in arabic. Also the shit in this thread talking about how all languages can be musical. Of course, languages that are natural lend themselves to lyricism, poetry, and music. If they didn't people would just stop speaking them, or they would change. Learn a language anon and stop being a brainlet

>>14228854
>memorizing 800 words in a bunch of languages during a year is too hard
????

nigga, that's like 10 minutes per day per language.

>>14228648
he is singing in a very much western measure and forgoes most tones. I do agree with Hindi mostly too.

>>14222379
You do realize "Romance" in "Romance Languages" uses the definition of "from the Romans" and not the common everyday definition right?

>>14229095
yes, I speak nativelly a romance language.

>>14229100
The chinese (traditional) character for love is formed from the characters of "suffer" and "heart", which honestly is both more descriptive and emotional than the Latin root of "amo" in Romance Languages imo

>>14229118
sure, dunno a lot about chinese but I consider it a beautiful language.

Like I said, english seems more like a technical language, it feels like a rule.

Spanish feels bucolic and feels like taking a nap in a sunny day on a small town.

>>14229118
Two concept to explain one. Or just have one concept period. Both have their advantages.

>>14227884
but don quixote is objectively the best novel of all time, so spanish should be the language of literature

>>14222379
Chinese is not the language of music. In fact just a few days ago I was having a conversation with my friend about how bad Chinese music is.

>>14229141
my issue with spanish is that maybe I'm too used to it, maybe spaniards speak better spanish than me.

One funny thing is that japanese girls love spanish for some reason, there's a video about them being wet over some spaniard accent.

:)

spanish is the most popular foreign language in japan after english.

>>14229133
chinese is one of the funnier languages in that the writing doesn't specify how to say it, so the way modern Chinese is said is very different from how it used to be. We actually know this because many poems in the past that used to rhyme don't anymore in the Mandarin dialect, although more of them rhyme in the Cantonese dialect. Also from the fact that a lot of Japanese hanji is pronounced closer to Cantonese than Mandarin.

>>14229159
You would think Japs would like Portuguese more, considering that the 2nd largest number of people of Japanese ancestry live in Brazil.

>>14229195
I think is because spanish and japanese are very similar in terms of pronunciation, so it may be easier for them to speak.

Spanish is way more aggressive than german.

Reminder that English is the ultimate language for all purposes and is only getting better.

Source? I'm Cantonese and have never heard of this before.

Very influenced by Western classical tradition, from a music theory perspective. Just swap the instrumentation and get a German proletarian as lead singer and this could be a Rammstein Song. Know what i mean? I was asking for more autochthonous stuff.
