What's the most beautiful language in the world?

I am really into foreign languages. Realizing that people in general have different perceptions when it comes to sounds, I wonder what would be the language the most of the people (worldwide) consider to be the most beautiful? I still haven't decided myself. But my two favorite languages so far are French and Chinese. What's yours?

French is, I think, one of the most beautiful languages. My sister, on the other hand, hates the way French sounds. It just depends on who you are. Latin (what I studied in high school) is beautiful in an odd way, if that makes sense.

Arabic is also gorgeous. I just remembered how much I like the language. :)

I think it's Spanish. I heard it's been dubbed the most romantic language. But close to it is French (such a hard language to learn, though). In Asia, I think Korean is very lyrical and sweet. I also like Chinese and Japanese. Of course, being a patriot, my first love is my own tongue, Filipino (which is sometimes referred to as Tagalog, but the latter is a dialect while Filipino is a language and broader than Tagalog). English is also nice, when you study it closely because of the many peculiarities.

I think tagalog is sweet. I had lots of friend from the Philippines when I was living in China and it sounded like music when they were speaking.

I cannot really say because I love all languages. I am yet to find a language that I find I don't like at all. So, it is really difficult for me to pick one language as sweet/beautiful. Each language has its own beauty. Of I too have heard it said Spanish and Italian or sweet to listen. But on that count Telugu is too!

For me it's Spanish. Very romantic.

I've always loved German, even though it seems like an odd choice. I really enjoy Spanish too, and I'm lucky because my fiance speaks fluent Spanish so I get to hear him speak in it frequently to his family. I really, really enjoy the sound of Afrikaans and even thick South African accents when they speak English. It's beautiful and it's fun and I find it pretty unique.

We cannot simply say one language is the most beautiful or the best just as we cannot say a certain nation is the cleverest. each language has its uniqueness and value.they only differ in acceptance and populatity.

As said in many responses that every country has some languages but in my country there are no of languages spoken. I believe that Smile is a common language which fits for all size and everyone understand this without any issue :)
