Hard disagree. Chinese is at least top half of good sounding languages. And hot (potato) take... same with Danish tbh.
To clarify, Chinese has many dialects. The most commonly heard one (the official language of China and Taiwan, and the one people usually refer to when referring to "Chinese") is Mandarin. Do you mean that, or Cantonese / Hakka / Hokkien / Wu? They sound pretty different from each other.
Here are some languages that I think sound shitty:
- Japanese (though not Korean)
- almost every SEA/AAPI language, especially the Austronesian ones like Filipino, Malay/Indonesian, Maori, and Hawaiian (idk how to describe it, but the tonal Vietnamese and Thai sound like bitchier versions of Chinese, especially Cantonese... while the Austronesian ones are like "selemat gangcha baboo tidak kah oyam ululoreningka'a")
- almost every Afro-Asiatic language, e.g. Arabic and its dialects, Hebrew, Berber, Somali
- almost every African language (except for the really cool click ones like Xoo/Taa, which are kinda in between "shitty" and "bizarre"... and before you call me racist, I think Afrikaans sounds awful too)
- Dravidian languages, e.g. Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayali (North Indian languages too, but these are like 5x as bad since they sound like babbling, and take like 10 syllables to express what English can express in 3)
- most indigenous languages of Australia (even more babbling than Dravidian languages and possibly related;
take like 15 syllables to express what English can express in 3)
- most indigenous languages of the Americas, but probably because in practice they're almost always spoken by Americans who grew up speaking American English (thus, an underlying American accent)
- Irish and Scottish Gaelic (sort of), but not Welsh (same issue as above?)
- mangled creole or "multicultural" versions of English
The US might've made a mistake when it voted to make English the official language and not German in the 1770s
If nothing is done, then Danish society will collapse. It's not a question of "if", but "when"
Ironically hasn't Denmark actually done a 180 and begun implementing immigration control recently?
If a language can't pronounce nigger with a hard R, then it's a bad language.
Chinese is like 1 out of 2 languages in the world in which you can pronounce a hard R
