German is not as awful as Dutch-should be noted as a throat condition.

Strangely the Dutch all seem to speak better English than most Americans and even Brits.

Dutch calls Danish a throat condition!

Highly ironic, this!

so Danish call the northern neighbors the same?

There is a great punk band from New York with all Arabic lyrics: https://haramharam.bandcamp.com/

Wow - they are great. Thank you for that link! And I don't think it sounds any harsher than other hardcore punk in English.

Maybe conversely, I think Arabic written script is lovely with flowing line.

I find it has a lovely sound to it https://youtu.be/WEwgafTDrOU

What Arabic dialects have you heard? As a native speaker, I have never really considered Arabic to sound "harsh".

Arabic is the language of poetry, so don't let how it sounds deceive you ;)
