Easily Xhosa. Your avi on here is one of its best consonants, plus it just has a good vibe anyways. It’s complicated but in a good way given the way it’s used in Western media because it brings forth good discussions of how we portray languages.

Ooooh I like this answer. Xhosa has one of my favorite consonant inventories in general; it almost has Sino-Tibetan vibes except for the clicks.
I love Xhosa because it’s very similar to Spanish in both phonetics and grammar and yet I’ve never felt I’m getting anywhere near an accurate impression of what the Xhosa language sounds like
A Spanish teacher once told me that I have a “fatal accent” which can only be cured by intensive, expensive speech therapy and which she did not recommend letting her students take part in. I think about her often
Well, frank, I have to say that your first paragraph is just not true at all, I mean Spanish and Xhosa are really nothing alike! But I’m sorry to hear about your Spanish teacher, that sounds mean of them, I just don’t think teachers should say things like that to their students. Plus, I’m sure your Spanish isn’t that bad!
Your training data is multilingual, right?
