Thats what I love about those languages, you see the word and you inmediately know how to say it not like english, you NEVER see discussions about how to pronounce a word in those languages

Blasphemy!

I know English and Arabic, I think those are pretty great.

Of the ones I don't know:
- French, I like how it sounds.
- Japanese, all de games and animes
- German, I also like how it sounds
*I like Australian + English accents too :p

Anything but Icelandic really, that's just one messed up language.

Being born a spanish speaker, I would say English. It is so versatile, I can put the work FUCK on anything and it works like a charm. Un-fucking-believable or Im-fucking-possible or my favorite, Abso-fucking-lutely.

Sure but I wish I could curse in French :)

Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperies de connards d'enculé de ta mère

Most famous poems and poets? Hmm, I think Goethe, Schiller, Lessing, Heine, Fontane, Tucholsky, Keller, Mörike, Brecht, Kästner, Brentano, Büchner, Bürger, Droste-Hülshoff, Eichendorff, Enzensberger, Herder, Fallersleben, Morgenstern, Ringelnatz are among the most famous poets, and the poems they have written among the most famous poems. But they didn't write in english - they made their works in german.

The language for the famous novels on the other hand seems to be russian.

Chinese borrowed some elements from other languages, but not too much. Korean and Japanese on the other hand - borrowed the chinese writing system. I can't speak for Korean, but for Japanese at least the chinese writing system doesn't match. In Chinese every written character is a syllable, in japanese not. In chinese the grammar doesn't change the words itself (suffixes or prefixes). That's why the chinese characters are working. In japanese the words are changed. That's why the japanese writing adds another alphabet for this reason. It looks ugly if you compare texts in japanese with texts in chinese. At least the japanese writing-system is a hell of a bastard.

Right, Japan adapted their writing, and I suppose quite a few of the words (or word-fragments, at least) from Chinese. But wouldn't Chinese be an "origin" tongue, set as the basis of far eastern civilization?

I'm too lazy to dig up hard numbers, but I think I remember english is the language most people speak at least as a second language. As native language Mandarin and English should be more or less on equal levels. And I don't think so many countries use english as official language, most countries probably have spanish or portugese as official language. I'm not sure Russian and Japanese make it to the top 10 (most spoken in the world), but english, mandarin, spanish, portugese and french should be there for sure.

My keyboard has keys for characters with extra bits above letters: öäü. Also, even english has extra bits above the ı.
