In my opinion Arabic, Russian and Romanian sound most badass.

>there must have been nothing more scary in the 1940s to people then listening to germans speak.
No-one else spotted this? I think OP was making this thread as a (not so) subtle Nazi joke.
Though I love the way German sounds, very cacophonic compared to most European languages. And very sexy accent for the women.

arabic is one uuuuuuuugly fucking sounding language imo
This is more or less German. I as a native German speaker can understand wide parts of the Yiddish Wikipedia using a hebrew Letters to Latin letter Transripter

Sounds like it would be incredibly hard to learn if it's not your first language.

as a german, i vote for russian. its just like this one simpsons episode where lisa takes the bus to an expo but catches the 22a instead of the 22 and on her way back she comes to little moscow and asks a russian for the way.
my girlfriend was born is moscow and her parents usually call her down for food in russian and i always think she messed up big time

that hasn't been proven. Officially, Japanese is language isolate.

Forget the vocabulary and grammar. The majority of Polynesian languages have the same phonology (although actually it's not the same, but even 2x simpler), they are often syllabic too. If you have very generic knowledge of how does Japanese sound you'll probably never distinguish it.
