I disagree with Russian being an overrated 'mafia language'. It sounds pretty fucking awesome. Also, it has a very clever, and in some ways insightful, way of expressing itself.
Japanese - It's hardly even its own language. Just a bunch of Japanified Chinese loanwords (moar like stealwords amirite?), and lately, Japanified English loanwords. Shitty weeaboo language.
English - Most accents sound fucking horrible, shitty grammar, shitty irregularities, shitty orthography, shitty everything.
French - Nasal faggoty piece of shit.
Dutch - Sounds like a German attempting to speak Arabic and failing horribly.
Danish - DEAR FUCKING GOD
Cantonese - It's what you sound like during puberty. Not pleasant.
Hebrew - Sounds like Dutch guy trying to speak Arabic with a French accent. Disgusting.
There are some underrated languages too:
German - People say it sounds too rough, but that's the fucking charm of it. It's aggressive and manly. Too bad half of its speakers are fags.
Arabic - It's more than just angry Al-Qaida insurgents screaming "ALLAHU AKBAR". It can be as harsh as it can be soft, and the roots and stems are fucking ingenious.

I also disagree. Russian has very functional grammar and the alphabet is very phonetic (unlike English's bullshit), is indeed very 'clever' at times and has very clear expression. I totally agree with your assessment of the others, too

Actually, give Danish a break. I don't mind Danish
Arabic as a language is great, but arabic society is another matter...

Well, I was semi-joking about Danish, but it really DOES sound like they have a hot potato in their throats.
Also, being an Arab, I can tell you that there is no 'Arabic' society anymore, only Islamic. The difference being that Arabs were fairly secular and pretty damn good at contributing to science, mathematics and actual astronomy (as opposed to astrology) in pre-Islamic and even early Islamic times.
Then that faggot Muhammad came along and metaphorically shat on everyone's dick and raped them in the eye, the result being a religion even worse than Christianity (as if that's possible) and faggotry all around.

Most Arabic contributors to science and mathematics were muslims.

I think it sounds wonderful when it's read by someone who knows what he is doing; especially when it's in verse form.
Also, thanks to the distinctive sandhi system, there are no "harsh" sound combinations within a sentence. I don't know of any other language that takes so much effort in getting the sentences sound good.

Considering how religions worked back then (and still do in some places), I'm sure anyone living there with the intellect to contribute to science would have been smart enough to call himself a Muslim.

Arabic + Mandarin = fucking rude languages, everytime I hear it it's like people are yelling at each other.
English = retarded monkeys language - can't reproduce nasal sounds nor diacritics on letters.

English is a simple langauge that ESL (English Second Language) people speak better than native speakers. Spanish, I've heard white Americans who don't know any Spanish go on about how Mexican Spanish sucks and Spanish Spanish is good. No, Mexican Spanish is good and Spanish Spanish sucks.
Mexican Spanish > Other Spanish
Québécois French > Other French
American and Canadian English < Other English

Never liked french. It sounds like they have balls in their mouth while speaking. Still so popular language and considered beautiful language of love ... blah.

Actually, French is hot when spoken in that innocent "I gon get raped" kind of way by 11-year-old girls.
It's a faggy language in all other cases.

Actually, about spanish, I like better chilean pronuntiation, as it's the more clear of them all (everyone else like argentinians or whatever they are called in english and spanish talk like they are eating something), although I like the words the spanish use, and having future tense (we chileans don't really use the future tense but in the news and writing in actual talk is always the "I'm going to" tense I don't remember the name of).
also, I think russian is a pretty cool guy. Eh has eighteen vowels and doesn't afraid of anything.
btw is there any language with odd (for english and roman-based speakers) sentence orders that's not faggotry or brain-dead inducing, I think I learnt enough english already to speak in it and now I want to learn something to think in in a different way, kind of like the switch I make from programming in C to lisp.

There are plenty.
Finnish, Arabic, Japanese if you're a weeaboo, to mention a few.
