Tom Tens Day 94: Languages

Welcome to the Tom 10 project, where I do a top 10, and you vote on your favorite! Ground rules:
-No stuffing or other jerkiness
-Polls last at least 24 hours, and will be started and closed at my convenience.
-Nominations are welcomed, but I will veto anything I don't know well or that somehow doesn't fit with my other ideas. Or if I just don't feel like if for whatever reason.
-Feel free to gripe about snubs, but don't expect me to change the poll or results unless it's something I legit forgot.
-These are my top 10's, and they're roughly in order on the poll. I won't vote, but I will break ties.
-Help bump please?
-This is not a super serious project and I don't want drama.

English > Latin > Spanish > German > don't really care

Japanese and Italian are my top 2 foreign languages, too! Neat.

Spanish is the most elegant language I've ever seen. Not completely without mess, but very consistent.

Where is the superior Korean?!

Where is the superior Korean?!

Imagine actually believing this. Korean is objectively worse than Japanese. It has the same grammar, but it sounds worse, and practically doesn't use kanji, so you have to rely on phonetic lameassery to understand words instead of meaning.

I don't have enough experience with Korean to have much opinion on it

totemo sugoi

Against my better judgment I voted Italian. Japanese is tied for it, but then I thought of the Renaissance.

Aww yeah,Hawaiian!
