anyway tones making those languages sound shit is debatable and it could also be due to alien phonology (why is Any Forums and /d/ sounds in my language plosive?) but i digress
Andrew Evans

Carson Cook
Thai doesn't sound so bad.
Samuel Wright
Swedish doesn't even have universal pitch.
Aiden Thomas
well thai sounds like backward vietnamese to us natives (i assume korean sounds like drunk japanese to you?)
Gabriel Ramirez
I agree.

it has nothing to do with tones, most african languages are tonal. the difference is that most langauges in mainland south-east asia region are monosyllabic. which made these langauges develop a much more diverse range of consonants and vowels. Beside, mandarin is the least tonal and the least monosyllabic langauge of the bunch. Mandarin constantly uses compound words, and some northern chinese dialects uses erhua (-r ending) which basically negate the tones.

Vietnamese sounds similar to Cantonese to me. Thai sounds like Vietnamese but more dragging.
Mandarin spoken by the Min and Wu are very pleasant to my ears :)
Lincoln Butler
min and wu are different langauges, quiet different from mandarin.
Adam Fisher

I really like the forcefulness of Mandarin; no idea why anyone would dislike it.
