Have you spent any appreciable amount of time in Asia?

They sound very similar. Similarly irritating to the ear. Not quite as irritating as Cantonese, which may quite possibly be the most unpleasant language in the world (as much because no one seems to be able to speak QUIETLY in Cantonese as that it has so many abrupt stops), but irritating nonetheless. Northeast Asian languages are much easier on the ear, and I haven't really had any negative reactions to Thai or Vietnamese.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Yeah, I was going to ask you about the ß but Tim got there first. It is very easy.

"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.

I found Tagalog to be an unattractive language

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