Why is Arabic such an ugly sounding language?
<|assistant|>
Arabic is considered an 'ugly sounding language' because of its guttural consonants. Unlike languages like Spanish or French, Arabic features sounds such as 'ah', 'k', 'kha', 'gh', 't', 's', 'sh' and 'kh' which some people may find difficult to pronounce. Additionally, its non-concatenative writing system, called Arabic script, can make reading and writing Arabic more challenging for some. Despite this, many languages are borrowing words from Arabic due to its significance as a Semitic language and as a language of commerce, law and theology. For example, the word 'coffee' itself is derived from the Arabic term 'kahve'. Thus, Arabic is not just an ancient language, it is also one of the most influential language families in today's world.
