I've had Germans kill family too, but the video above is a non-native German speaker making fun of German words. I agree that German isn't the most pleasant language to hear spoken, but that video isn't evidence.


No, but it's a funny reminder of how it's perceived. It's not supposed to be evidence, nor I linked it as if it was some scientific proof settling the matter.

Basically captures that part you said "I agree that German isn't the most pleasant language".


For me, Dutch is even worse. Turkish I also dislike, for some reason, I think because of the throaty "l" sounds.

Sorry, Dutch and Turkish friends.


Dutch is kind of like fake-english sounding to me, but not as harsh as German.

Turkish does have some harshness.


Whaaat, every second sound in Dutch is a throaty "ch", as that's the sound their "r" makes! It's there all the time.
