@Kino: god damn it, you have no idea how that sentence nearly made me squee. Apparently I'm not the only one who makes shipping/shipping puns anymore.

Fuck that shit, I'll stick with Irish.

My name is Cu Chulainn. Beside the raging sea I am left to moan. Sorrow I am, for I brought down my only son.I just came here to say that I'm dissapointed on the people who said that Japanese isn't manly.
This is the language of assasins, people. Just sayin'.
I don't think it's the manliest one.
I'll give you a hint as to which one is the manliest: Mi nombre es Iñigo Montoya. Tu mataste a mi padre. Preparate a morir.

Interestingly, most of the culture hated ninjas until recently. Ninjas were the rejects of Japan.
Also, Spanish is definitely in the top 5 manliest languages, behind Irish, Scandinavian, and German but ahead of Russian.

Also, I'm not Irish, technically. I'm a third-generation Irish-American who wants very desparately to go back home.
Or, more accurately, to England, until the financial shitstorm blows over.

My name is Cu Chulainn. Beside the raging sea I am left to moan. Sorrow I am, for I brought down my only son.I hope by "Scandinavian" you mean the ancient kind of Viking (and pre-Viking) stuff that was way cool.
If, instead, you mean Swedish, Danish, Icelandic or Norwegian, I couldn't disagree more. They're definitely not manly languages. They're about as manly as French.
Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur.I think that German is the manliest language too (no, I'm not biased) but Russian is a good contender too.
I wonder if there is anybody who thinks that Dutch is manly (not necessarily the manliest). At least, I would laugh if someone claims that.

People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be....perhaps. I've heard one person describe it as one of the best for swearing in, at least.

I've heard about them: In Riding Hood she gets raped.
I could imagine some tropers enjoying The Brothers Grimm for all the wrong reasons.
