rofl. i think the language people speak from india is not bad, just that the accent it promotes when speaking english is when it starts to be awesome. :D.

As for yelling at people, I think Japanese is very calm compared to the foul-infested korean. I think korean has the most bad words ever, most combination of badwords ever, and everything can end in a "shhh..." sound which can lead to a combination of slurs and bad words. It's quite possibly the most offensive language ever rofl. Koreans have racial slurs for every single racial background. :p. I think Korean is best for yelling at people hehehe.

Best for clearing throat is Klingon.
C++ has nothing on COBAL. Takes a friggy page of code to do a printf.

Worst Language, French - too many silent combinations

Best Language, NA Indian Sign Language.

Best: Spanish - I don't even speak it, but I love how it sounds.

Worst: Mandarin - Worst sounding, kinda annoying to me. Unlike Cantonese: best 'utility' language ever.
