So, yeah what languages do we like that we're interested in learning and what languages do we dislike that we believe should be washed from earth's history?
I like Polish, because my heritage is pretty much pure Polish. And it's fun to talk in, even if 90% of it is just consonants and I can't avoid spitting on people while pronouncing it. I also like Korean and Thai. Korean is probably the simplest Asian language out there and Thai has such a unique writing system I wanna learn it.
Languages that I hate? If a war was ever waged over the fact that the English language existed, I would join the army against it because it is the most confusing, unnecessary, and unpronounceable language out there. I also don't like Spanish, it just sounds really generic. Welsh looks pretty stupid too...

Welsh is one of the prettier languages as thai being the ugliest.

Idk, I guess I'm just a bigger fan of non-latin alphabet languages
I hate all language that's not bongo-banging. In fact, I programmed my bongo's to translate the bongo hits into english so people can still understand me. I don't have a keyboard. I have bongo's.
The only language I understand or speak is Angrish.

Favorite language: Auto-tune
Least favorite language: Zalgo
There was a time when I wanted to learn the dinosaur language from Star Fox Adventures, but I quickly found out that was stupid.

My grandmother spoke German. It has such a foreign sound to it compared to the English/French we're raised with in Canadada, that I like it.
Though it's not the prettiest, I do intend on learning it.
Not overly fond of French. But what Canadian is? Spanish reminds me of soccer, and Japanese reminds me of anime fans. I tried learning Japanese but started to feel like a RPG fanboy or something when speaking alloud, so I dropped it. Maybe when I'm older.

Favourite languages: English (fun to learn the rules of), Japanese (just fun to learn and speak and write in general), Spanish (learned it because my wife was studying it), German (was born there)
Least favourite: Esperanto (good idea on paper, terrible in practice), Welsh (a language with altogether too many consonants), Mandarin Chinese (mainly because the meaning of your words can change entirely based on how you inflect them, which is frustrating)

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

The only language I know is English, but it's pretty bad.
I also speak mockfrench fluently, which sounds sort of like French, but is actually just nothing but gibberish.
As we in NB call it, ShiacShiac. That link's a local mock article but is Shiac to a T. J'peu talké le Shiac right good la.
I grew up Bilinbual English & Greek. Greek is fun, most of the words are long enough that you have time to think of the grammar that has too many millenia pile up in it. I'm pretty handy in Mandarin since most of my classmates speak it, and some of them are pretty abysmal with English so it makes things better with them. I like the grammar since it is very direct and has no frills, however the sound of the language is atrocious. It has the quaint ring of a mule swallowing a sink disposal.
Languages I hate. That would probably be Haskell.

I have a recommendation for not so much a language as a writing system. I don't speak Korean at all, but I'm familiar enough with the writing system (Hangul) that I know it's amazing. Each character actually represents a syllable and is a combination of individual glyphs representing the different sounds. And it's the only language I've ever seen that covers the full breadth of vowels in human speech - 12 of them. Which of course makes it hard for many westerners to pick up on the subtleties. But at least inflection doesn't matter, unlike Mandarin.
And keeping with the mixed pattern, I despise Java. I'll work with it but it's always painful. There is always four times as much boilerplate code as actual meaningful code. Way too many things throw exceptions that never should (like simple object factories). And dependency management is absolutely hellish no matter what third party system you use, which is probably why most large organizations have their own custom proprietary build system to handle it. Even C++ Makefiles are better.

I agree. Hangul is great (I know it too) and it makes so much sense. Japanese haa 3 alphabets which is way too much and Hanzi and Kanji, though interesting forms of heiroglyphics, are way too expansive. Korean has Hanja, though I've never seen it used in a lot of the Korean dramas I watch.
