Arabic sounds very weird. There are these guys in my class from the Yemen, it sounds like people coughing. :| I wonder if I'd feel the same about Hebrew.

Portuguese sounds like a very drunk man speaking Galician.

Where are Danish and Vietnamese?

Arabic is the hottest language when spoken by a gorgeous woman, its even hotter than French

Those are indeed pretty fucking disgusting

Portuguese sounds like a Russian person speaking Spanish.

People from Francophone countries that aren't France: what do you think of Canadian French?

Also, to people from Francophone countries: when you hear "Canadian" do you just assume they're French speaking? I went to France once and people were confused why English was my first language.

Need proofs

Brazilian Portuguese sounds nice.
Portuguese Portuguese sounds like Satan blaspheming God from the deepest pits of Hell while gnawing on the souls of Judas, Cassius and Brutus

>Portuguese sounds like a Russian person speaking Spanish.
It doesn't though. I even posted a record in a vocaroo thread once where I was reading a Spanish text as if it was in Russian. The folks said it sounds nothing like Portuguese.

Cincuenta y seis por ciento mestizo

But you probably knew it already:)

Huh it actually is pretty nice but French still tops it imi

I see how someone would make the connection to russian based on that song. But the accent and the intonation of the singer is very exagerated.

That movie's soundtrack seems to draw inspiration from american black gospel music, which is how it sounds to me. Nobody actualy speaks or even sings like that here.
Maybe there's a slight hint of a southener accent there, but even that is pushing it.

I'm frankly surprised at the comparison. For how sylabic the portuguese language is, both from Brazil and Portugal, I'd sooner expect a comparison to another latin language or even japanese before some slavic or germanic language.

Portuguese is like a drunken, sleepy man speaking spanish

portugese to me sounds like an angry 40 year old alcoholic mother arguing with her child to do his homework. i heard that's just the brazilian version though.

"Estadunidense"

Because our version is mostly only syllabic when singing. Speaking it's a lot less so.

You guys vary more between, though.

I can see that.
People don't realize how wildly accents can differ here.

Even within the same accent, actually.

Slow-spoken Brazilian Portuguese and fast-spoken Brazilian Portuguese differ a ton from the same guy.

Euro-Portuguese is generally more static in that regard (i.e. not very syllabic at all), unless specifically spoken to enunciate the syllables and not the words.

I dont know about the Brazilian version but Portuguese does sound like a more agressive version of Spanish which actually sounds really nice along with the rest of the other romance languages.

>aggressive
Now this I haven't heard.

I've heard stern and cold, but not aggressive.

But aside from that Portuguese still sounds nice in speeches and music like Russian.

I hate portuguese language
I wish I was an english speaker

You know english and Portuguese. Native english speakers usually only know english.

Americano

Oh, that makes a lot of sense too.
When spoken fast, brazillian portuguese differs greatly even from what we're taught in grammar/phonetics classes at school.

I honestly don't know which one should be considered the "real" language.
Fast spoken brazillian portuguese sounds awful and I make an effort to have as good diction as possible. If anything else, it helps to avoid some nasty mistakes like going over letters and mispronunciation in general.
