***Honestly, I prefer Spanish. Everything sounds prettier. Sorry, Jesus.***
I’d have to agree. I spent 10 years in the Detroit area encountering Arabs and the Arabic language on pretty much a daily basis. Harsh and full of glottal stops. I heard Rob Halford (and also Brian Johnson) as gargling with razor blades). Sort of like Arabic.
One of my college Spanish professors, a specialist in Texan (and contiguous Mexican states) dialects, called Spanish “El idioma de Dios.” I agree.
Arabic sounds like camels spitting. True story: Back when Anoreth was in preschool, around 1993, I got a call at work one day saying she was sick. “How is she sick, exactly?” I asked, since I was, like, supposed to be typing or something. “She’s making an awful choking noise, like a cat about to throw up.”
(Deep thought ...) “Ask her what sound a camel makes.” (Pause) “An awful choking noise, like a cat about to throw up.” “Right ... we watched ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ last night.”
