best meaning what? sounds the coolest? has the coolest words? Can convey the most meaning in the least words?
I think english is one of the worst languages. No pronounciation rules, too many weird-sounding, weirdly-spelled words.

Best for business: English
Best for seduction: Tie between French and Italian
Best for yelling at people: Tie between Japanese and German, Russian an honorable mention
Best for making fun of it's accent: Indian
Best for clearing your throat: Arabic

Worst: I dunno, all languages I don't speak sound weird to me. Though sometimes, I wonder how Chinese kids even learn to speak because I just can't catch a single syllable the person is saying. I can get 'some' words spoken in German, French or Spanish (even when the speaker is going pretty fast).

Yeah, Japanese is a really cool sounding language. German is cool too. French is OK. Pretty much every other language is annoying to listen to, with Chinese, Vietnamese, and Spanish being the worst.

I gotta agree with German and yelling... must be why Hitler loved to speak so emphatically 
. Japanese has always seemed more like the low-key type of yelling to me though (i.e. not so emphatic).
But spanish rules, because you can just put an 'o' on the end of anything and it's Spanish. Just don't do that to "cool" or you may piss some people off.

Indian is not a language
And I totally get what you mean by 'Arabic'
Arabic only sounds nice when a non-native person is speaking IMO. The native-speakers seriously...how do i put it...just murder the language with that throaty sound. Some people in my family (Indian origin) speak a little Arabic and they sound much better than Arabs.
In English we have the word "f---". I don't think any other language has a word that can be used in so many differeny ways.
Best : my mother tongue "Konkani".. I will be really surprised if anyone has even heard of this. [Its a coastal language in India]
There is no script to write this language, it is just a spoken language and one cannot write it (you can of course spell it in English, but the language itself has no script).
Worst : All other languages.

Having a German yelling at you with all the force of his voice is like a real, physical beating. Like breaking a bottle over your head.
Whereas having a Japanese yell at you gives you the impression that if they don't stop soon, they are going to explode into rage and take you with them. Kind of like shaking up a bottle and throwing it at someone.
don't know the best, but hands down worst is english.
what a pretentious language to think it can break so many rules and force kids to learn on a word by word basis.
