 |I'm quite interested in how the JAPANESE LANGUAGE sound to you.
 |
 |And which language, do you think, does JAPANESE sound similar to?
 |
  As I am not a linguist, I cannot explain why. But these are 
  what I recognize. 
  
  French sounds like the Tsugaru dialect. 

  Swedish sounds like the Akita dialect. 
  
  Hawaii polynesian and northern Italian sound like the Kyoto dialect. 
 
  Egyptian Arabic sounds like the Hiroshima dialect.
