Which languages do you find have a sophisticated tone and sound to you?

- Philippino

Sophisticated sounding languages:

I think that Japanese and Chinese sound simple, as do Indonesian, Malay and Tagalog. Korean sounds like you're going to get murdered by an angry mob. Arabic is also an angry sounding language, although less so than Korean. To me British English and French sound very sophisticated, actually, and so do Latin, Greek and Turkish.

Spanish is plain annoying.

Seconding British English and French. I wish I had a British accent...

Depends on the speaker, doesn't it?

Korean sounds complex but not sophisticated ...nida

I find that Nuxálk and other Salishan languages sound highly complex.  As you should well be aware, vowels are for fags.

I'd say English can be both at once. There's often a choice between a word of Germanic origin and one of Latin origin, in which case the Latin-derived word sounds more elegant/cultured.

_{(J.R.R. Tolkien was pretty damn good at using Germanic words to this end, which probably makes sense given that he was a professor of Old English.)}

That's from the point of view of an English speaker, anyway. Is it the same for speakers of other languages, when they read or listen to English?

A second question: to what extent do other languages exhibit this property?

Ottoman Turkish sounds sophisticated, though really it isn't.

So you wish you had a scouse accent, or a cockney accent?

Scouse, of course.

I myself am partial to the Yorkshire accent.
