The Arabian Language is just perfect for angry shouting and cursing.
Yeah, Arabian and Turkish are probably the best languages in the World for that. I used to come in an Arabian house when I was a kid and I always thought the family living there were mad at each other when just having idle conversation :)


while i think that the russian language sounds mouch more agressive to me aswell as Scandinavic languages.
Which of the Scandinavian languages is that?

Fun thing is, for germans Dutch sounds like a retard trying to speak german.

No offense meant, I bet it´s the same the other way round :D

And the same for swedes, well atleast for me when i hear a Norwegian speaking :D
Paprika: ...the Internet and dreams are similar. They're areas where the repressed conscious mind escapes.

Swedish, Dansk and Norsk

Suomi is far more funny to listen. I can remember the singer of Finntroll, who is from Finnland once answered the question why his band while not being from Sweden actually sings in their language and his answer was, that swedish sounds more trollish :P

so far http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg4ygeG0qiw

Well, that's the only three Scandinavian languages, as they are quite different sounding (at least for native Scandis) I was hoping for something a bit more specific :P

German sounds harsh, but not really intimidating. Russian however, does sound like the speaker is hiddenly threatening the listener. It's probably my russian mafia culture though.
