The Ukrainian language is one of the most melodious languages in the world. In 1934, at a linguistic congress in Paris, leading experts recognized the Ukrainian language as the third of all languages (after French and Farsi) in terms of melody, lexical and phraseological richness, enormous word-forming possibilities, and syntactic flexibility. At a similar forum of linguists in Switzerland, where the main evaluation criteria were the euphonic system of the language, its melody and melodiousness, the Ukrainian language was named second after Italian.
