Early caveman:

 

"Ugg, ooga nog ug?"

"Rawr!  nooga, ogg fig!"

Brog, oog a naga!"

 

How about the swedish chef from the muppets?

Everything sounds sexier in French.

 

And more magnificent in Latin.

 

French is the most uninteresting Latin language for me. Though I think they might have a nice dialect in south of France and pronounce 'R' like in real languages not like 'ق' or 'خ'! lol

 

For me:

Roman Latin > Italian > Romanian > Spanish > Portuguese > French

Romanian is so nice, based on some Romanian songs I've listened to.

Wait, did I miss something? Since when have we had polls back?

 

Use this refined gift wisely!

 

Estonian.

Some Japanese.

Chinese is pretty fun and expressive.

 

In some Chinese movies I've seen that those movies that are related to Empire and Beijing have strict and expressive way of speaking words, but those related to Hong Kong have a soft and kind one.

BSN is boring as X, so I start some old language stuff. A text from Parthia era.

Translation:

 

Assyrain Tree

 

In the name of God

 

A tree is grown on the other side of Assyria

Its root is dry and its tip is wet

Its leaf resembles cane and its fruit resembles grape

It produces sweet crop

It took too much time just to translate this few sentences!

 

And another text from next dynasty era, but I don't translate it. I'll try if there is some people interested here.

Anyone knows Prussian language?

 

I found some Prussian texts back in 2006. I hope anyone can translate them for me or at least understand some of it (its related to Baltic languages I think):

I speak English & Spanish (badly)
Favorite dead tongue is Latin by far

[Ridwan]

Turkish ftw.

[Fredvdp]

I think Afrikaans is a pretty interesting language. It's very much like Dutch (the daughter language in fact) but they don't conjugate verbs, making it a very simple language.

As for older languages, I really like Old English. It's very different from modern English, but you might make something of it if you speak English, Dutch and German. Pronunciation is much more like Dutch and German than English. For instance:

Summe synt yrþlincgas, sume scephyrdas, sume oxanhyrdas, sume eac swylce huntan, sume fisceras, sume fugleras, sume cypmenn, sume scewyrhtan, sealteras, bæceras.

Translation: Some are farmers (literally earthlings), some shepherds, some oxherds, some also likewise hunters, some fishermen, some fowlers, some merchants, some shoemakers, salters, bakers.

From: Aelfric's colloquy

I can read and understand some of it.
