Kotlin or if I'm really in the mood, Python

My dumass thought op meant programming language, and I spent 2 minutes thinking of some sarcastic reply.

Whatever language the opposite of French is

English because I can understand it

People have only had luck with me when they’ve spoken English. Otherwise it’s hard for me to understand their answers to such questions as “your place or mine?” or “dear god what are you gonna do with that spatula?!”.

For me, Japanese, someone like Atsuko Tanaka or aya hirano could whisper whatever they want to My lesbian ass

Spanish / Portuguese … but can’t explain why. I think it’s mostly cultural vibe based.

Gotta say, for me, all the techy programming language replies in here are pretty lame. It’s fine that the fediverse leans techy at this stage, great even. But a thread like this was really looking for some linguistics and personal experiences with learning and understanding languages. If you can’t help but turn any topic into one about programming, that’s cool, but doesn’t mean you have to add some noise (seriously a ruby v Python conversation in a thread about seductive human languages?!) to every conversation that happens to use the word “language”.

Norwegian, it's like Danish but with an attractive accent.

Spanish, because I know enough to understand most of it, but it still feels new and mysterious

French, because of the lower tone of voice

Klingon. It's so aggressive...tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh'a'

French is the the go-to. Closely followed by Italian. They’re classics for a reason.

Dutch

Just kidding.

Finnish! Especially since Iistened to Jukio Kallio's Kuvankaunis album. Listened to it many times.

Maybe it's so alluring to me because it sounds close to hungarian, but at the same time more rythmic and melodic to me.

German. It naturally sounds so aggressive that if someone speaks German to you and it doesn't sound rude, they must be trying really hard.

Italian for sure. It's so emotional which I really like.

Morse code has a rhythm that just does something to me

Icelandic! Beautiful language, learned a bit for my honeymoon, it’s a bit of a time capsule to old Norse too.

For me I'd probably say Japanese or French. Spanish is really nice too. Although, those happen to be the 3 languages I want to learn the most too lol

I don't think I have a particular language I find seductive. I am a native Spanish speaker, I like Italian for sure and some accents from Spain. But I wouldn't say it's particularly a seductive thing, I think what is seductive is the voice pitch and how the speech is delivered, and that can happen in any language.
