What language is more pleasing to the ear? And which one sounds harsh and not so nice to you?

Turkish is the best sounding language in my opinion and has a special place in my heart since its my native tonque. I like how Turkic languages sounds generally. Azeri, Turkish, Kazakh all sounds good. My favorite ones are uyghur and gagauz language.

I like how celtic languages sounds like either... irish, gaelic, breton etc... I have never seen an ugly sounding celtic language. Too bad they are getting replaced with germanic and latin languages.

Romance languages sounds nice aswell except french. Germanic languages generally sounds so harsh. English is the only germanic language I like. I am neutral towards slavic languages. Neither good or bad.

I hate sound of arabic and hebrew on the other hand. Semitic languages generally sounds terrible. They are guttural and I can't stand them more than 5 seconds. I have also feel some grudge against arabic aswell. Its literally been promoted and forced into non arab muslims under the disquise of islam. Its an imperialist language quilty for erasing many indigenous cultures and languages in mid east and north africa.

Germanic languages generally harsh? Norwegian and Swedish are about the least harsh sounding all over the planet. Or galaxy. Whereas the sound of Celtic to me pretty much nails down harshness, not unlike the landscape we'd typically associate it with.

But you don't hold the same sentiment against Spanish, do you? Even though the Spaniards erased the indigenous culture of Latin America and put THEIR imperialist language in said continent under the guise of Catholism.
I guess it's different when they're European huh

If I was latin American , I would have the same sentiment against Spanish.
All kinds of imperialism, assimilation etc. are disgusting since I am Turkish , arabic one affects me most.
Also spaniards, British etc. never promoted their language by religion. Religion is a very sensetive topic in our part of the world. You could get killed for critizing it. Maybe you dont know.

I mean the Spaniards implemented catholism in otherwise pagan Latin America
So religion wasn't just implemented in colonialism by just the arabs
Also did the turks not have the ottoman empire? Where they spread Islam throughout the world?

Turks haven't made anyone muslim , with an exception of bosnians and albanians. People of most ex ottoman territories today believes in their own religion and most importantly speaks their own language.
There are atrocities we have also commited during ottoman era but assimilation and islamization are definetly not one of them.
Also arabs haven't just imposed their religion but also imposed their language and arabized people.
Still to this day arabization is very prevelant among non arab muslims.
Arabic cultural and linguistic dominance are very prevelant in islamic teachings.
We non arab muslims are not even allowed to pray nor recite quran by our own native tonques.
Assimilation, arabization , killing a nations culture and language are disgusting things but using a sensetive topic such as religion as a tool of arabization makes the arab imperialism more disgusting.
Here in Turkey , you can critize germans , you can critize americans , you can critize every nation out there.
But when you critize arabs , islamist , wanna be arab , self hating Turks will accuse you as qafir (non believer).
And do you know what they do to qafirs in islam?
