According to the main-character of "The Singing Detective" by Dennis Potter, the most beautiful word of the English language is:
Elbow.
And on any given thursday, I agree.

Schweinshaxe - and of course there is a word in a language that has not even a name and is spoken by only by about 78 people in the Brasilian rainforest. Unfortunately this language is spoken only and cannot be transcribed because of the limitations of our alphabet.
But if you ever have the chance to get there and meet those people you will recognise the word immediately as it really is bewitching and you will never forget it. The word is in fact so beautiful that those people hardly use any other words - so they live in perfect piece as they cannot even imagine bad things as they have no words for them.
