the most beautiful language is welsh, and the most beautiful piece of language ever spoken is dafydd ab edmwnd's 'i wallt merch'.
i'm not sure what it would mean to say a language was over-rated. every language has a use when you need to communicate with native speakers of it.
the ugliest language is probably basque: it sounds like trying to shave yourself with a sharpened flint. but then again a language that ugly has a charm all its own.
....
if you think hebrew is ugly try to listen to the 'girl with two breasts' episode of the bbc comedy series 'coupling'. it includes a sequence where a girl who speaks only hebrew tries to seduce a boy who speaks only english. it will change your feelings about hebrew entirely.
and you will never ever be able to forget what the word 'shadaim' means.

The language spoken by Ancient Egyptians changed a bit over time. Basically, the Egyptian language came from the languages spoken to the east of Egypt, Semitic languages like Hebrew, and languages spoken to the south, Hamitic languages like Somali. The words in this language are mostly made up of consonant sounds, unlike the vowel sounds we use today in English. Old Egyptian is the language that scientists believe was being spoken at the time when the pyramids were built. Middle Egyptian came a bit later and has been found on many recently discovered business and government documents. Coptic is the last known stage of the Ancient Egyptian language. It used a lot of the Greek alphabet, with only a few additional letters from the older Egyptian languages. Coptic was mainly used by the Egyptian Christians toward the end of the time of the Ancient Egyptians. Now they speak in Arabic, not to be mistaken with Farsi though. Hieroglyphs is the written language during the ancient times.

MOST BEAUTIFUL TO MY EARS (that i have heard):
Polish, Arabic, Italian
Most Overrated: English (but only in the sense some people think it is the ONLY language worth using)
so what if it is used all over, SOME language has to be the one to be the "common tongue". English just happens to be it.
Ugliest Language: myself speaking English when I'm pissed off. >:)

Friendly people speak beautiful languages, bumptious people speak overrated languages, nasty people speak ugly languages. And the rest is conceit.
