Well, I do admit that French and Italian and so on, sound very romantic, but to me, Latin really sounds dramatic. I think if I spoke some Latin, I can get away with being really smooth. I don't know though, I've not heard all of Latin, but yeah, I can understand why some people don't think it sounds smooth or some people might,...I, for one, am one who adores the forgotten language.

i take AP Latin. Speaking latin fluently is impossible unless you are a heavy scholar.
btw. have any of you latin advocates heard anyone reciting poems with scansion? gotta hate the rolling Rs.
It is dramatic yes, i would agree, but the question is "what is the most romantic language," not "what is the most dramatic."
