So do you actually know Chinese? 

I tried to get a feel for the opinions of Chinese/Asian peoples on these 
matters but its hard to find anything on the Internet not being able to 
read their languages. Google translate wasn't helpful enough. Fortunately I 
do have a few Chinese and Japanese relatives so I can at least ask them for 
their opinion. 

Btw, my favorite sounding language is Arabic -- I am trying to be as 
objective as I possibly can be.
