Native languages from your ancestors, do they sound vaguely 'familiar'?

Hear me out. For those of us whose families of origin immigrated from other countries, even if it was several dead generations prior, when you hear people speaking or singing in the language of where maybe your great grear grandparents came from, is there something about the 'language of your people' that hits you as a vague familiarity or maybe more 'attractive' to your ears than other languages? Even when you didn't grow up with or around that language.


Maybe it's something just within me. Something about hearing people talk and in the languages of my great grandparents just seems ...I can't even put my finger on it... familiar ...my only way to describe. Not that I ever met them or heard anyone speak with even an accent from the family. Hmmmh.🤔

That would be Tagalog or German. I’ve been interested in learning them, but no, I haven’t felt for them what you described.
