What's a language you don't speak, but like the sound of?

I don't speak Brazilian Portuguese (though I'd love to learn), but I love the sound of it. I could listen to it all day (and I have been listening to more Brazilian music lately). I also think Romanian sounds really cool. Even though Romania is surrounded mainly by Slavic language-speaking countries, Romanian is actually a Romance language and sounds a bit like Italian.

Xhosa. Some of my ancestors probably spoke it, but it’s forever lost. It’s one of those languages that if you don’t learn it as a child you’ll never pronounce the words correctly.

@bijouxbroussard Languages with clicks and languages with tones seem far too difficult to learn to pronounce properly 😳

@SW-User Yes, challenging indeed. Trevor Noah speaks Xhosa, and it’s amazing.
