Russian, love the sound of it when it's spoken by a powerful voice. Skip to about 3:05 on this video.

Lebanese arabic sounds permanently like they are flirting,
egyptian arabic sound very formal,
and palestinian guy sound nervous, plaestinain girls sound like they are constantly yelling

I'm very fond of the French language. Just watch Amelie or Jeux d'enfants. Two of my favorites. ^-^ Also enjoy some Edith:

I'll just let the Merovingian do the talking:
'nuf said. He's also one of the main reasons I like The Matrix: Reloaded. And his wife of course, his loooovely looooovely wife...

Yes, that is a literal phrase used in the video. It's fucking awesome.
It's absolutely hilarious when Japanese start talking English, this song is such a great example:
Especially the chorus, around 1:46. YU ARE MAI ROWRING STAAAAR!!! Comedy gold.

Then again, I bet it must be just as funny for Japanese people when Western folk start talking Japanese.

German, Russian, Spanish, sherp-a-derp-a-derp-a-derp-a-derp-el-nerp.

Can't think of another one at the moment.

Oh! I need a video...

How about I just type in some of the languages..

German: Mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht. Ich solle mehr studieren. Es tut mir leid, Deutsch sprachen leute.

Spanish: I don't even speak the language, so how about I post an offensive line from a song I once heard in Spanish (a song from a German band... In Spanish).

Shield your eyes! Te quiero puta!

And I couldn't even begin to type any Russian, so sorry about that.

Elvish! (You never said it had to be a real language!) I find it very seductive. I had very complicated feelings when Orlando Bloom spoke it in LOTR.

You win at everything forever. But now I have to ask: Which form of Elvish? Sindarin or Quenya?

OT: The above choices, Black Speech of Mordor (what little there is) and Japanese are all awesome.
Uh, to be honest I don't know the difference.

Sindarin is Grey-Elvish (and the more common of the two varients) and Quenya is High-Elvish (essentially, Quenya is to Sindarin what Latin is to English)

This is Quenya:


All the videos showing it seem to have embedding disabled for some reason, but you know when Arwen is taking Frodo to Rivendale and says an Elvish phrase to make the waters sweep the Nazgul away? That's Sindarin.

Ah, ok. Then Sindarin is the one I like.

For me its Japanese, Spanish, and then Russian. German too. Japanese sounds awesome, part of why I learned it. I'm by no means fluent but, I can talk to a Japanese. I'm learning Spanish in high school, and maybe I'll learn Russian or German someday. I would say Korean but some phrases just sounds awkward.

Also, please do not show anime as an example of the Japanese Language the voices are too high pitched to even be understood sometimes try these links instead.

I like the sound of Min and Shanghai Chinese dialects, maybe Mandarin sounds a little bland to me because that's what I understand and have been exposed to it more. Not sure why so many have said Japanese outside of weeaboo reasons, it sounds really nasal and not too interesting to me as far as East Asian languages go.

Pennsylvania Dutch is interesting to me because you can hear some influence, but still retains some of the similarities to the pfälzisch German dialect. Though it actually sounds like crap.
