For me, it's Afrikaans, it just sounds so awesome, lekker and kwai. It sounds rough, and hoarse and echoes South Africa's harshness perfectly. Many other languages sound more melodic and beautiful, but if I could speak one, it would be that. Although, thinking about it English is alot more useful.

Also, what is your first language? Mine is French, although I was soon taught English by my dad.
I'm totally biased against Afrikaans because I'm Dutch. To me, Afrikaans just sounds like a sillier version of Dutch, which isn't exactly a pretty language to begin with.

OT: Italian is my favorite language, at least when it comes to the way it sounds. I'm not very good at speaking it though.

Japanese has the best sound to it for me, even if it's quite hard to learn
Agreed. There's something about that language. Everything sounds wonderful.

English is my primary language.

My mother tongue is German, but I also speak English, French and a bit Spanish.

I like the sound of many languages...Japanese, English, Gaelic, Swedish, Danish, Spanish, French, German...

Gotta love Usagi/Bunny's voice in German:

I recommend 2:01.

japanese, any day. it just flows through your ears and its so easy to sound cute, scary OR dramatic when using it (which is, of course, a reference to anime) im thinking of learning it to the point of actually being able to form sentences (right now i only know how the language works and words like "hello" "thank you" "sorry" etc)

Hmm. Well as much as I love my two languages, I think Latin-American Spanish sounds very nice. It has really lovely intonation.
As for the languages I speak, I, like the rest of the world, am a native English speaker. Boring, but I like English. It's interesting. I know Japanese too.

English first language with a hazy knowledge of Japanese as second.

I like those, but i'll take German as well.

I think that Russian sounds tough and burly. And a Brit speaking English just sounds captivating. But if you have a Russian speaking english? Magic happens.

Does Elvish from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings count? If not, my vote goes for Russian. I just love the sound of Russian. I think it might be the accent that does it for me.
I agree on the Russian it sounds damn awesome.

Íslenska! Það er óneitanlega besta tungumálið á jörðinni!

Guess what I just said ^,^
(This is a guess tell me how wrong I am) Icelandic! Something something best language something something.

I'd guess: Icelandic! It is obviously the best language in the world!

My mothertongue I guess would be French since my mother is French but my Dad is English so that'd be my first language. I'm better at English then I am at French.

Gaelic. Incredibly difficult language, but darn, it just sounds good.
Yes, yes, yes! Gaelic is brilliant! I can only say like two things: Slancha (not how its written but how its pronounced) it means something like cheers (when you clink glasses). Also Pog Mahoan (again not how its written but how its pronounced) which means ass hole (I think). It was brilliant one time when someone I met told me (in Gaelic) "May you be in heaven a whole half-hour before the devil knows you're dead". Sounded brilliant.
That's weird, I'm in exactly the same situation as you.

French sounds awfully sexy. The Merovingian proves my point better than I could:
Second place goes to Italian. Honourable mentions to English for it's extreme flexibility and awesome posh-ness.

My first language would be Dutch. But I use English so often I might just consider it my first language as well.

Harsh and rough? I just find it extremely comical. Really, it's hilarious, I almost couldn't take District 9 seriously. I mean:
Come oooon...

Depends -
For everyday life: English Romanian, my own language
For epic fantasy drama/opera: German Japanese or Italian(can't make up my mind)
For huge over the top fights: Japanese German for the villain(don't call me racist, but there's something terminator like about the German language, that makes it sound tough and menacing)
For getting worked up about stuff a meaningful and sentimental idea across: Arabian Russian(don't call me a commie for liking me fellow comrades, even though I tend to be one sometimes)
I hope you don't mind if I use your post as a format for mine(I was just lazy)
