Perhaps? I may have heard it and don't remember. I have heard Swiss and Sweedish. (exchange students in HS) But, the majority of nordic languages have harsh consonants.

I googled quickly and here's an example of spoken Finnish.

Pronounciation varies in different parts of the country a lot.

Swiss speak a very funny German/French/Italian, though. It's really almost a different language.

There are a lot of umlauts in Finnish.

Way cool, though.

My favourite language is profanity.

My favorite literary languages are German and English, for opposite reasons. German because it has so many double meanings (with only 10,000 necessary words), and English because it is so specific and yet malleable. You can easily craft different sentences just by changing word orders or a few letters, and it is easy to specify exactly what is going on.

I keep waiting for someone to say, "the language of LOVE".
