It's odd, though, because they're related to the Polynesian languages and I think Hawaiian sounds neat.
Malay and Indonesian (or Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia, if you prefer) are sister languages, but Tagalog is different enough from them that your statement makes about as much sense as saying "it's funny how ugly Portuguese sounds considering it's related to French and Italian" - or still less, as I suspect Tagalog is more distant from the other two than Portuguese is from French and Italian.

"Muckefuck" sounds to me like "Schmutzenficken" sounds to you.

Haha. How are you supposed to pronounce it?

Moockefoock, though with short "oo"s. I'm guessing it's more the spelling that's funny. *NM*

Sort of like "book" for both "u"s and with a short "uh" sound for the "e".

I think that works because the languages are similar but distinct

I think some of my funniest foreign words would have to be Norwegian, as well.

Well, Norwegian is closer to Dutch than Swedish and Danish are.

Nope. None, in fact.

I always grimace a little when I hear "pupsik". Always sounds like "poopsicle" to me. *NM*
