Romantic Language
I was talking to my friends and he referred to French as a romantic language, but I know Spanish is a romantic language. How many are there and is French also a romantic language? I was thinking of a few and I am pretty sure German is not very nice sounding. Post what you think because this seems like a topic most of you would know about!

The languages that are Latin-based are considered Romance Languages. These include Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese, just to name a few. German is not one of them.
I think that when someone referred to French as a romantic language he was not talking about language origins in the least. Some people think French is romantic in the sense that, according to Merriam Webster, Romantic means: a. having an inclination for romance : responsive to the appeal of what is idealized, heroic, or adventurous b : marked by expressions of love or affection c : conducive to or suitable for lovemaking.
So, for some people French is great to seduce.For many years French was considered ´the language of love´.
One survey showed that 6 out of 10 people admitted to have been seduced by a foreigner´s accent. That´s why it´s so important to learn languages!
I agree with DR1960. French is a romantic language but German isn't. In addition, Catalan, Romanian, Galician are romantic. English, German, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, etc, on the other hand, are Germanic languages but there are a lot of influences of Latin on them because of the similarities between histories and cultures of European countries.
