There is a joke of that:
There was a englishmen a frenchman and a german... heard it...
That was competing of their own languages.
The englishman said, "Well there are no more poetic language then the english.
Just listen to this, Butterfly... Butterfly".
"Well said the frenshman there is no more romantic language then the frensh,
just listen to this, Papillon... Papillon".
the german was quiet for a while and then said,
"There are no more powerful language then the german,
SCHMETERLING... SCHMETERLING".
A bit of truth in all that I guess...
And for swedish... I guess we where not even in that joke...
We are more known to talk like the chef in the muppets...
Just my two cents...
