What language (other than English) do you like the sound of most?

@DarkHeaven I do love the sound of French, I listen to quite a bit of French music

@Zeuro I like to understand the lyrics so it’s either English or Icelandic for me.

@DarkHeaven my boyfriend has a whole playlist of Icelandic alternative rock

@Zeuro I have hundreds of songs.

@SW-User Lyrics and translation to the first song in the playlist that I linked.

Good moon in the sky you feel,
Góða tungl um loft þú líður,

Sweet cloudy silver shot.
Ljúft við skýja silfur skaut.

As the will of the Almighty dictates,
Eins og viljinn alvalds býður,

After your certain path.
Eftir þinni vissu braut.

To all who are weary, let your light shine,
Öllum þreyttum, ljós þitt ljáðu,

Sneak in through everyone's window.
Læðstu um glugga sérhvern inn.

Be humble, suffer hearts
Lát í húmi, hjörtun þjáðu

To all who are weary, let your light shine,
Öllum þreyttum, ljós þitt ljáðu,

Sneak in through everyone's window.
Læðstu um glugga sérhvern inn.

Be humble, suffer hearts
Lát í húmi, hjörtun þjáðu

Good moon in the sky you feel,
Góða tungl um loft þú líður,

Sweet cloudy silver shot.
Ljúft við skýja silfur skaut.

As the will of the Almighty dictates,
Eins og viljinn alvalds býður,

After your certain path.
Eftir þinni vissu braut.

@NickiHijab bummer. I learned Icelandic from birth just like English. I know Broken Norwegian and really broken Irish… or Celtic.

@DarkHeaven I mean, I'm not Arab so I didn't get taught it from birth. I did learn it as a child, mostly to read it but I've never had to communicate with it so not the best person to ask lol.

@NickiHijab I love your English accent. It gives me the goosies. 😊

@thepreposterouspanda Really? My people’s language? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that before. It’s kind of harsh sounding and we don’t have near the words that like English does. We have some 'tökuorð,' (“loan word”,) but not many.

@DarkHeaven I can't quite put my finger on what I like about it so much, but it's just a comforting thing for some reason. :)

@thepreposterouspanda We’ll here’s a bunch of it by one of my favorite Icelandic bands. If you want translation, let me know.

@TurtlePink wallahi bro

@SW-User it did have a similarity to Middle Persian yes, about 90% of the vocabulary was shared and both influenced each other. It diverged a bit with Farsi and modern Armenian.

@SW-User it is, they're both Oghuz Turkic languages, so they're very similar.

@SW-User I haven't been to Salvador yet. I hope to go soon.
