Italian and Portuguese, Portuguese sounds like a Neapolitan dialect though, slightly barbaric but very interesting in my opinion, I speak English French and italian but I personally dislike French.

I agree, Portuguese sounds barbaric and hearing the music genre Fado we can feel it: http://youtu.be/jPjmBt6d4GE

I emphatically disagree. Portuguese is a lovely sounding language, and Fado is a superlative and beautiful art form.

It is beyond me how anyone could think that this isn't a marvel of music, language, and performance.

Gratuitous insults about the language and culture of others doesn't diminish the objects of the attack, they diminish the people who make the comments.

Also, anyone who has any familiarity with the Romance languages should recognize instantly that Portuguese is, and sounds like, a Romance language. Any speaker of Italian, for example, who has any aptitude at all for languages, (and I speak from experience) can pick it up in a matter of months.

I can read written Portuguese fairly well (via studying Spanish) but I can't make heads or tails of it being spoken.

I voted for Romanian because of its unusual history as a Romance language in a Slavic milieu, seemingly away over there by its lonesome while the other Romance languages cluster around each other.
 
I like Wallon as much as Romanian,but it was not during the options of the thread.

Romanians are Latinized dacian (which were either closed to slavic or balto-slavic) people.
Over which another recent Slavic influence came.Over which French came ,brought at around 1850 with new words.
Romanian sounds so awesome because it has besides the Romance sonority,a strong influence from Eastern Slavic sonority.
 
Romanian have 3 main styles of stressing words,Muntenia way of speaking ,which is also the official way.
Transilvania (Ardeal) way of speaking and Moldavia way of speaking.
Moldavian have a strong melody and more pronounced influence of how words are pronounced from Russian/Ukrainian.
Ardelenian way of speaking is very slow and resemble the way in which South Swedes are speaking.
What you have in the song put here is the way in which people from Muntenia are speaking.

Here a song in Romanian ,but with Moldavian way of speaking:
 
my favorite romance language is Italian. though i love spanish and i know it better than italian, i think italian is beautful and not so quick and choppy like spanish, though i love spanish and think its beutiful too. French can also be very beautiful but i cant pronounce it so well, maybe thats why i dont like it, but its nice. Portuguese is interesting but it sounds like they are whining all the time and can get on your nerves. Romanian is intersting but can sound a bit rough. Latin was the best romance language though, a perfect mix of beauty and strength
 
I can't choose French so I'm gonna go with Italian
 
And if you count Latin, then it has to be my absolute favorite.
 
Spanish is such a spirited language . My favorite by far.
 
Definetly spanish...my favorite is spanish from Spain, I love the pronounciation although most of the time they speak so fast I can't even register the words
