I think German sounds cool, but usually not beautiful. But, that's just my personal opinion. I tend to like stops and simple syllables, frequent stop-vowel pairs are lovely, which is probably why I like Japanese so much. The syllable _n_ is another thing I love about Japanese, especially when it's prolonged in songs. -- "No just cause can be advanced by terror" ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
