Basically anything in or from Latin and Greek.

Many Japanese words as well, mostly native Japanese words, and in Japanese the modern day pronunciation is the only good one.

I speak natively and am proficient in Russian as well but I don't think it's pretty sounding, it's just Slavic gutterspeak with whiny intonations.

Most words sound the way that meets exactly what they mean, and, yes, this is due mostly to association. But some words pertaining to something bland sound pretty aethetic to me, like mediocre.

There's nothing, the way I'm hearing, mediocre about the word mediocre.
