Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and French in my humble opinion.

Edited to add Portuguese, that's also a must

Arabic is the best, and I hear a wide variety of languages all the time.

Amazing that it wasn't included in the above list.

I'd say Italian or Dutch. English with a (slight) Irish accent sounds very nice as well.

And Russian sounds horrible. Ugh.

French is winning now. After all long thought, I chose English. Those english accent on girls is well....

and frankychan, japanese accent on girls? Ones with heavy accent, no, but if its light, you can spend hours making fun of her not being able to roll her tongue to sound certain things correct.

ENGLISH?! English is the UGLIEST of the languages!

Irish != SCOTTISH Gaelic (i hope), I thought I included Arabic, and Hebrew is an incredibly ugly language not deserving of this list.

Italian. No other language comes close to its lyricism (not even other Romance languages).

To me, the French sound like they're speaking with cotton balls stuffed in their mouths. In contrast, Quebecois sounds very pleasing and wins my vote for the second best sounding language.

I chose Russian because of its ability to easily portray both lovely femininity and rousing masculinity. It can be lyrical or harsh depending on the speaker and the mood.

Castillian!

Spanish is a wonderful language, but most of its speakers butcher it horribly. Cubans, Dominicans, and Peurto Ricans are the worst at it.

For all of yah who like Italian, listen to an Argentine: its all basically Spanish with an Italin accent.

As for the topic of Language and women: Latin women. Need we say more? (Russian girls ar beautiful, but have a radioactive half-life. Wait till they are 60... )

I voted French, but I'm also a fan of Chinese and Finnish.

Finnish just fascinates me. I mean, it's sandwiched between Russian, Swedish, and German-type language zones, but it resembles none of them!

Plus, the Fins gave the world Janne Niinimaa, Jani Rita, Teemu Selanne, Teppo Numinnen, and, my favourite, Jari Kurri!
