Rather unpleasant to the ear are Shuswap and Lillooet with their
ejectives, but Inuktitut, as I've mentioned, I think is beautiful, it's
one of my comfort languages, also I think Haida and Cree are rather
nice. Also quite beautiful in my mind are Bambara, Maninka, Twi and
Nzema...I really like the sound of West African languages.
