I was curious as to how your own native language sounds. Except for the native English people, post a video that shows pretty much what your language is like. Don't forget, to post the language as well
It is part of a comedy show, extremely popular here in my country. It's a parody on a bad-famed TV station. The idea of the video is irrelevant, but it's relevant as far as the language is concerned

Cantonese Chinese. If you know where it is, go watch that Silkroad CEO parody movie on youtube that has GM Pizza and Crayon in it. It's in Cantonese (and taken from a movie I've seen a long time ago xD).
Cantonese sounds very strange compared to regular Mandarin Chinese. Way more consanant endings and more tones. I think it has between six to nine while Mandarin has five. You may even say that it sounds a bit like Vietnamese. I noticed that it is very hard to spell Cantonese pronunciations in English.

Arabic, i speak Iraqi. What you hear here is formal Arabic, it's th official language in iraq. The 'street language' sounds a bit different, but that's in most languages the case.
