What is the most beautiful word for you? something from your home country preferably, it could be everything, a name, a noun, a verb. As long as it holds a meaning to you, as long as it touches something inside you.
Personally, I prefer english over danish (I'm from Denmark), english simply have more variations, and it's very hard to sound 'cool' on danish.
But there is one word that is much better on danish
Kærlighed (Love)
I have no idea how to explain how its pronounced, since each of the three parts (kær- lig- hed-) are pronounced in a very unique way.
at 00:14, he say the word.
It holds the same meaning to me as the word "Beautiful" holds to many english speakers, (The danish word for beautiful is "smuk" pronounced somewhat like what you could imagine the sound effect, of someone being slapped), it sounds beautiful, and its meaning is beautiful.
PS: somebody's gonna pick Cellar Door, I just know it!

Imagine a group of people who are all blind, deaf and slightly demented and suddenly someone in the crowd asks, "What are we to do?"... The only possible answer is, "Look for a cure". Until you are cured, there is nothing you can do.
And since you don't believe you are sick, there can be no cure.

Mamungkukumpurangkuntjunya means "where the devil unirates" in Pitjantjatjara.
It's a bit hard to choose an Aboriginal language considering there's about 800 of them.

For lulz I'd say Angstschreeuw for the funny reason that few here can probably pronounce it xD
In english I would go for pandemonium, a word for chaos in the organized form of all five vowels.

Y isn't a vowel, fool.
Situationally it shares some properties with vowels but it is certainly not classified as a vowel in itself.
