| it's a contest among Thai, Vietnamese, or Arabic for me. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| English bcus its my native tongue and only tongue so all the negative connotations i got are for English, American particularly |
 |
| Vietnamese, and it's not even close. It sounds like angry cats fighting - all I hear is nya-nya-nya-nya, and it's always at least 10 decibels louder than anything else around you. Also, that Spanish accent that replaces half of the consonant sounds with a "th." + Korean since they always sound like they are complaining about something due to that stress on the vowel. Not ear-piercing but incredibly annoying still. |

| This is a tricky question, as what may be considered "ear-piercing" is subjective and can vary from person to person. However, some languages may have a more aggressive or abrasive tone, such as German or Russian.. |
| If I were to make a top 10, all ten would be asian tonal languages like vietnamese and mandarin. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Vietnamese and Navajo. The former is due to all those contour tones. Navajo has lots of ejectives, which gives it an ear grating sound, imo. I think Navajo would sound nice if not for that. Chinese is hit or miss, imo. Most dialects like Mandarin are grating, but I think some Wu dialects, particularly Wenzhounese sound melodic. |
| Some Swedish, especially when conceited women (and gay men) speak it. They have this super disgusting way of saying "y/i", and it's so hard to explain why I hate it. It's like they clench their throat with some mucus in it while still continuing to speak. That is the number one annoying sound for me. Closely after that comes the southern redneck American accent (almost always sounds dumb) and Danish. I guess Vietnamese is also annoying sometimes, but more because of the volume and high tones than the language itself. AND like Numbers said, that Spanish accent where they say "th" in every other word. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |

| The question cannot be answered without bias, because it also depends on the speaker and what someone is used to That being said, I'm not a fan of too vowel rich languages and the way certain "gangsta" people from the hood sound when they talk to each other Verticulum said: They have nothing to do with "schmettern" ("(to) clash"), but with an East Central German dialect word meaning "one who creams" + "-ling" end syllable meaning "little". It's just another milk product instead of butter. Well, at least we don't call it a "fly". And "dragonfly" sounds rather cold and boring compared to "Libelle". I also prefer "Glühwürmchen" over "firefly" Very angry German. Who tf calls butterfly Schmeterling!? |
Verticulum said: May I also be that German person and correct you. It's "Schmetterling" with two t's. Very angry German. Who tf calls butterfly Schmeterling!? |

| Too many deaf people on MAL who should listen to Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner more often (I must agree however that some German dialects are truly awful). Also, can't people stop with all those clichés on Chinese and German? I will go for French, I cannot stand the way most people speak it these days (and they speak too loudly). It is so vulgar... The second worst is American for similar reasons. Risa92 said: Verticulum said: Very angry German. Who tf calls butterfly Schmeterling!? To be fair we don't pronounce it like the satire videos do, especially the Austrians don't. Germany's German sounds harsher. You are right, Hitler's pronunciation was so Süß. |
| Ear-Piercing in a way of sounding awful/difficult/whatever? I'd go with actually Polish, just spend a day in a rural areas among drunks or people who never graduated highschool and you'd know what I mean, after that I'd say Russian, Ukrainian, German [I hate that language, tried to learn for 3 years I barely remember anything], Classical Latin, Greek and Arabic. Examples of why Polish: |

| None really? I don't really find any particular language nor dialect harsh. Funny perhaps would be better word. Danish would be maybe my choice, but that's more so because it sounds strange mix of languages. I can pick some words and then all the rest is just weird gibberish. Same with Scanian, I just can't with it. |

Risa92 said: I agree, any dialects and accents in the southern German language area sound better than German Standard German, which is rather dull because of it being a bridge language between the northern, central and southern dialects.

| English with an Indian accent... I sometimes stop watching videos if the accent is too thick. |
| Really it's more down to the speaker's accent, dialect, voice and mannerisms rather than the language itself. |

He is concerned with mastering space: solving problem of life in and under trees, mastering what tools he can, mastering social relations in the jockeying for power and status. Deprived of this drive to development and self-increase he devolves to pointless masturbation, in captivity, where he senses he is in owned space and therefore the futility of all his efforts and all his actions." |

That might hurt your ears if you were near someone speaking that in it's intended use. Though that's a special case because it's a language meant for distant communication through whistling out Spanish derived words. |

It has its quirks. The spelling only makes sense if you know etymology and the amount of vowels and how each different dialect treats them is insane. Classical Attic Greek has 21 ways to say "the" (36 if we count syncretic forms as different forms like that meme does for German). Things like that sometimes make me glad that some languages are dead. |

Things like that sometimes make me glad that some languages are dead. In Koine the dual is mostly gone except for some authors who try to imitate the classical Attic style. Other than that the articles are exactly the same. |

| French, mainly because I was forced to learn it as a kid. Damn official bilingualism. That and Arabic. They played a song in Arabic on the intercom one time, because there is a lot of indians here, and it sounded like a dying cat. Edit: think it might be Hindi actually. Not sure |

Amityblight said: French useless language to learn. I never understand why that was one extra class. In the odd occasion that someone might want to move to Quebec, or get a government job. Literally that's the only reason why they teach it, up here. Because, you know, that's not something that you can do on your own or anything, if you strive for such a position. |

That just means you're not used to the language and how it's spoken on television. I bet you don't even know what a day-to-day Mandarin sounds like let alone how it's spoken in different ways due to local dialects |
