German is probably not the harshest-sounding language ONLY Hitler can make that a harshest sounding language.I've seen  a lot of nazi movies,Hitler had a harshest sounding voice.

if what is meant by language in this thread is the language spoken by a people, then there is no such thing as a harsh language.  any spoken language becomes harsh to the ears only for those who either simply do not understand a word or are not used to the intonation pattern specific to the language. 

but if language here refers to expressions (or expletives for that matter), by jove, there's a lot to choose from out there.

and, take note, the probability is high that the movies you've watched were made in hollywood, by americans or u.s.-based film artists.  that says a lot about how other people and their language are portrayed.

That is true even our language can be harsh to non-Filipinos. Even the Arabic language in Southern Philippines is very harsh to the Ilongos in Central Visayas.

However, I would say German language may have some hard impact on the listener because its heavy and the accents are really strong. It sounded lyrical, sounding like someone is gargling a mouth full of marbles. I believe the German language might sound a little heavy and thick to other foreign countries.

buahahahaha I know what you mean, Hubag.

This is not German, but when I was taking a crash-course on Introductory Russian when I was studying abroad in Kiev, one student in our program was from Germany and he had a very strong German accent (a good guy tho, his name was Franzheinrich) and the Ukrainian women would always joke on his accent. For me it was rather interesting to listen to.
My experience in that program was entertaining, if not for the academics, the cultural meshing. My first day there the Ukrainian college students were asking if I was "Mongo" apparently I looked Mongolian to them. Then to realize that most of the 'oriental' looking people in Ukraine were Eurasian peoples from the former soviet union.

I would rank Russian and German in the same level. Both languages require a guttural control, Russian for example is a very masculine language.

Pinaka nindot nga language para naho kay ang Chavacano (aside siyempre sa Binol-anon) pero the most interesting of all for me is Itawis. Paminawi, mura lagi ka ug naa sa aviary, murag tweet tweet sa langgam ang pagkaistorya. ;D

I have heard about Chavacano, it does have heavy Spanish influence.
I consider Chavacano a dialect of Spanish than a native Filipino dialect.

CHAVACANO - Major Chords (With Lyrics)

I do have a question, bro, what is Itawis?

Bro, Itawis is a native language of the people of the North especially the people living between the boundaries of Isabela and Cagayan Provinces. Naay daghang dialects diha aside from Ilocano like Ibanag.

This is so interesting, bro. I feel so limited because the extent of my knowledge about my Filipino Fatherland is based mostly in the Visayas. There are so much more to discover, aside from the different dialects of Visaya. I want to know more about other Filipino dialects such as Illocano, Tagalog, Maranao, Tausug etc.

In regards to Itawis, Vince, can you understand them at all? Are there some words that are similar to Visaya, or is it totally different?

Its totally different Bro. Hehehehehe. Wa jamo koy nasabtan. For the Ibanag, nagtuon ko sa pagkakaron, I know vocabulary words pero I find it difficult kung unsa pag construct sa sentence or pag istorya.

Pareho diay ta ug interest Bro, languages. I write in my diary using Baybayin text tailored for English language aside from Filipino. I also know the Alibata alphabet. If ever Bro you want to explore more on alphabets you can visit omniglot.com kay tua didto halos tanan including Filipino alphabets. ;D

Very similar indeed. I also have a physical diary (Moleskine), bro, which i put my daily thoughts to--the ones that i do not share here in Tubag Bohol Dot Com. hehehehe!

As in interesting.

As for the language--i am now interested in knowing more about Itawis and Ibanag. These are the same people that built and carved the Rice Terraces right? (if i am not mistaken, they are similar to the Ifugao?)

My father told me one time when he visited Baguio with my mother for their honey moon, tugnaw kono didto ug ang tawo didto gamay kono ilang stature. Igorot, is the term that they were called. Kuyawa no. That throughout the thousands of years that they have been in the philippines, throughout the waves of foreign influences, they still have retained their original cultural identity whereas the entire country (well, for the most part) has been amalgamated and taken up a stratified layer of different foreign influences (genetic and cultural).

Amazing. Its akin to an igneous rock, Vince, seeing the different layers of a rock throughout the thousands of years of sedimentation and accumulation. And being able to see the original layer prior to the advent of other layers. The Ibanag/ Ifugao, are still there.

A reminder for us, physically and linguistically, of how we originally were.

Wolf, what other dialects are you fluent in?

For me, besides my Binisayang-Bolanon, I am trying to learn Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), and also Tagalog.

german language sure sounds "thick" and "heavy" to other ears, especially those used to listening to english such as american english (americans often describe german as "thick and accented").  to think that both german and english languages belong to the germanic language grouping.

excuse me, i do not mean to correct anyone here... just my two-cents' worth, this.   accents that refer to how a language is spoken cannot be strong (or weak), they can only be different.  'speaking with an accent' is often used to describe anyone who veers away from the standard pronunciation of a language.  and this may include accent in terms of phonology.  i think some americans also speak as if their mouths are full of marbles.

may i know where in southern philippines is arabic spoken?
