3. Spanish: Spanish is one the most widely spoken languages and is definitely the one with most variety because it is spoken in different counties differently. But the Spanish spoken in Spain is the the sweetest sounding because of the lisp it is spoken with. That is, it is spoken with a thick tongue rounding off vowels.

4. Hindi/Urdu: The most widely popular Indian and Pakistani language has many more than one dialect but when it comes to choosing the language of romance it would have to be the combination of Arabic (Muslim influence) and Hindi (Hindu influence) to form the beautiful language Urdu.
