I don’t like the stereotype (and it is just a stereotype) of German being a ‘screamy’ language.

Yeah it’s exactly that: Stereotype and being used to a certain melody in a language. For me (German) Arabic often sounds aggressive for some reason… Farsi and Dari sound pleasent though. I don’t understand neither of them…

Even in Germany we consider some other dialects rude or aggressive sounding. For a lot of people Berlin’s dialect sounds rude or some people from the north have the same feeling with some dialects from the sound. (For me it’s the dialects spoken in the Black Forest).

Language is weird.

Honestly Saxonian ist the worst. I automatically assume I am talking to a Nazi and brace myself. The fact that that I am right in about 1 of 2 cases doesn’t really help either
