I have always wandered smth,How does turkish sound to non-Turks?

I heard that Turkish sounds Smth between Magyar-Russian

While some other ppl said it is mix between Some eastern European Languages with short voices etc.

Its too hard for a turk to catch that "sound"
so I would be glad if you tell how does Turkish sound to you...

Well Attila, it sounds like......nothing i ever heard anywhere else in the world

When I first heard it I thought it sounded as if a Chinese person was trying to speak Russian

Daydreamer I agree with you-maybe for all Poles it sounds like this.My friend said that it sounded for her like talking rhinos

When I first heard it, it sounded somewhat like a mix of French/Japanese, but with the ch/sh sound... I was fascinated with the sound, no other like it.

It sounds very melodic!

so how does rhinos talk???

I think men speaking turkish sound very sexy. I'm not sure about girls though. I have heard girls speaking turkish and they sound as though they are going to start crying any second. This seems to be a 'fashion' thing because i don't hear 'adult' women speaking with this kind of whiney, crying sort of voice.

The hardest part about speaking turkish is what 'rythm' to use.because with all the words being in such a strange (to me) mixed up order, I just can't figure where to put the emphasis anyway, I'm getting off topic sorry about that.

Sexy, yes, must agree with you there.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that kind of difference in the way the women speak. It seems harsh in a way. (and I'm not just talking about young ones)

I think I agree with my Polish friends that the sound is as if there was a Chinese person speaking Russian , although when I uderstand some words or sentences, they become much nicer sounding (something closer to Polish ).
