I think Amaregn (Amharic) should replace Arabic on the list. Unlike almost all Semitic languages (including Arabic) which are usually very harsh to the ear, Amaregn is smooth because it's syntax is heavy influenced by Cushitic languages.

Well ladies and gentlemen, our poll to find the world’s sexiest language has finally come to a close. So what is the world’s sexiest language? What are the sexiest languages per region? While some of the languages on this list may not surprise you, some of them certainly will. The winners, according to popularity are:

1. French
2. British English
3. English
4. Arabic
5. Spanish
6. Samoan
7. Italian
8. Yoruba
9. Thai
10. Tahitian

However, when we calculated the sexiest language according to region, the list turns into:

• North America: English – Known for being the mutt of all languages, English has developed into a complex and beautiful creation that borrows the precision of German, the intensity of Latin, and the refiner of French.

• South America: Spanish – The language of a never dying love contains the vocabulary and rhythm that can make any person swoon.

• United Kingdom: British English – The accent of sophistication and of incredible depth, the British English contains sounds that can adjust itself into any position.

• Western Europe: French – Usually considered the suave and most cultured of the Romantic languages, French is as soft as silk and feels as warm as a lover’s stroke.

• Western Europe: Italian – Known for its poetic nature, Italian is the language of passion and fun, making this language addictive.

• Africa: Yoruba – With percussive intensity and syllables that sound like everyone is singing, Yoruba massages your ears into ecstasy.

• Pacific Islands: Tahitian - With its warmth and voluptuous sounds, Tahitian is the sound of gold coming to embrace you.

• Asia: Thai – Soft spoken, fun loving, and happy-go-lucky, the rich textures of Thai make this language incredibly seductive.

Thanks to your help, Day Translations has been able to search for the world’s sexiest languages in the world! While some of us are not surprised that French turned out to be the sexiest language of all, one can’t help but wonder: What makes a language sexy? And what is it about French?

According to Dr. Nigel Armstrong, a lecturer in French and sociolinguistics at the University of Leeds, there is nothing in the accent that makes French sexy or unsexy. In fact, the same could be said for any language that is included on our list. No language is inherently sexy, for accents and languages are merely sounds that follow an organizational structure. The reason why we think French or a particular language is sexy is much more interesting.

As Dr. Armstrong states, the sexiness of an accent or a language is due to our social and cultural backgrounds. Several surveys have been conducted on similar linguistic phenomena. People, depending on where they have grown up and with what they have been taught as normal, are prone to holding opinions that their culture holds. For centuries, the French have had the stereotype of being stylistic, cultured, suave, and most of all, sexy. Yet why the French?

Generally, the persons who are the most favorable of the French tend to live in a Western culture. This come as no surprise when you consider the numerous polls that have studied attractiveness and sexiness tend to be taken in either the United Kingdom, or the United States. Seeing how both nations are fairly similar in contrast to say, Canada and Indonesia, the polls tend to have the same responses. It is not terribly surprising that Italian, British English, and French show up in every poll about sexy languages.

What is interesting though, is the fact that our poll happens to include a more varied population. As you can see, Arabic, Samoan, and even Yoruba have made it in to the top ten. Has the West ever considered the sexiness of Tahitian? Have we ever even paid much attention to the Yoruba language? Maybe it’s about time that we start to dig a little deeper into other cultures and learn about what makes them so sexy. Who knows, maybe Thai is truly the sexiest language. We just need to study the culture a little more.

A language being "sexy"....quite interesting. I could understand accents....but a language...hmmm.

scholes0:
I quite Agree with the Yoruba part.

I discovered that most people find languages with a good balance between Vowels and Consonants very sexy. What that means is that when speaking it, the language does not aound too frictional, and is quite free flowing and melodious to the ears.

...Sexy accents...Sexy languages - its
ALL the same. French, Spanish and
Yoruba are tonal languages so I guess
this is why they are pleasant to the ears
and of course depending on regional
variations in accents!


Queen Victoria of England in 1851
described the Yoruba language as
"Soft and Melodious" after Bishop
Samuel Ajayi Crowther [1807-1891]
read the Lord's Prayer to her and
Prince Albert at Buckingham
Palace in Yoruba language.


PS: [Samuel Ajayi Crowther who was
originally
of Yoruba descent in Nigeria had
been captured as a 12-year-old in a raid on his
Oyo village and later rescued from
the slave schooner that was heading
for the Americas
by a British Naval Squadron off
the coast of West Africa while
on an antislavery patrol and set
free in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
He never saw his father and
sister again except his mother
who he found years later in her Yoruba hometown
of Ketu, now in Benin Republic].



All the best!

MsNgo40:


Ok...thanks sir for your brief historical info! You are a lover of history! I love that you took it a step further.
Interesting how you said the two basically interconnect. I guess it's the flow of the words coupled with the accent that makes it "charming".
I can see that being attractive.
I find some particular accents to sound lovely.
Thanks for the well-wishes

You're welcome... and thanks for the
compliments!


On the other hand, about those accents,
I've always loved the exoticness of Spanish,
Italian and French accents because of the
same words/phrase you used in your post:
"...the flow of the words coupled with the
accent that makes it "charming."



Cheers!



PS:I read YOUR profile "SIG" and my instincts
nudged me to share this personal security info with you
I posted it on another thread 3 days ago!



If any FAKE Nairaland moniker begins
to derail any thread with ethnic insults
or defamation of character, PLEASE hit
the "Report" button at the bottom of every
"Off-topic" post! grin


State the reasons for "Reporting" the Internet
Troll, and that will take the "Winds" out of
ANY Troll's sails, instead of responding to
them. I do this a lot on Nairaland instead of
responding to them as it saves time. I've been
using NL since 2005 and I can say this is
one of the BEST ways to control them
BUT it is not yet absolutely foolproof!


In the alternative, send a mail to the Super Moderators

REPORT specific FAKE NL monikers that
engage in ethnic insults and Internet Trolling!
