I'd agree with Japanese ^^ I also enjoy Ukrainian, Parisian Dialect of French (smoother than Quebecois), Urdu, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
The language I grew up with is rather.... harsh. Lots of as I say hissing and choking sounds ;;
What language?
Nisga'a. http://www.firstvoices.com/en/Nisgaa <- has some voice clips. You'll understand what I mean about it being a little harsh. The accents are hard to get if you're new at learning it. I have an advantage with that because my granny used to refuse to to talk to me in English ;;
Awesome

Ukrainian is almost like very sing-songy Russian to me :3
Welsh is very pretty as well. I find Estonian also quite nice. Japanese is also up there on my list.
listening to someone speak Brazilian Portuguese is like listening to music.
Welsh and Ukrainian are also very pretty.

Finnish sounds really beautiful - especially in song. Same with French... I've always had an affinity for French and how it sounds. (I squee'd over hearing a French accent in German, was so neat!)
If the novelty hadn't long since worn off, I'd have also said that German sounds very pretty, too - but by now, er... it's "everyday" to me. Although I really like how German sounds in Rock and Heavy Metal - the language lends itself very well, and the pleasure and novelty of the language comes back for me then.
I also have a thing for the sound of Dutch, both spoken and sung.... and Russian, thinking about it.
Then, of course, oriental languages really have something beautiful to them.
I dunno, I'm probably impressed by the sound of about any language!
Warlpiri. It has less than 3000 speakers, which makes it very rare, and therefore more beautiful. People 100 years from now may not get the chance to hear it, and that is what makes it interesting. English, Spanish, and Mandarin will all be around probably even 500 years from now.
This is what the language sounds like
I also like Inuktitut. It is another dying language with about 120 000 speakers in Canada, being the second largest native language in Canada.
Also, the language is polysynthetic, meaning it is made up as roots and affixes as opposed to words

I might be a little Eurocentric in my preferences, but...
-Norwegian -Swedish -Dutch -Italian -Spanish (spoken best in song) -German -Faroese -Icelandic -Finnish ...
I like Japanese first (cause of anime)xd, then I had fascination for Thai (Those cute thai commercial and movies! heart), French ( Paris, Classy, Marie Antonette, Les Mis need I say more?), Spanish ( Well mostly because its a language I could somehow relate to) , Italian (They're opera and musicals) and now Russian (That Katyusha song sang by school children in anime made me cry crying).

Japanese is def up there. I do like the way german sounds though.
I can't stand quebec french though. I have customers that speak it at work. It sounds like something that might come out of you mouth if someone hit you in the neck.

Isn't this language really unusually weird with regards to it's nouns[or rather verbal nouns?]

More accurate would be it's made up of sentence like words, made up of varied roots and affixes. But i digress these are awesome languages?
