I haven’t studied enough languages to determine which might be the ‘loveliest’. But I can’t imagine a language MORE expressive and beautiful than English.
(Italian seems lovely, though...)
From Latin mel, mellis (“honey”) + loquens (“speaking”), present participle of loqui (“to speak”).
(archaic) Speaking sweetly or harmoniously.

Reminds me of that 'Scrabble' scene in Sneakers. Too many secrets, yet any fool could do it:
>>>How is this possible?
Cryptography systems are based on mathematical problems... so complex they cannot be solved without a key.
Janek figured out a way to solve those problems without the key, and he hard-wired it into that chip.
Turn it off.
>>>
So it's a code-breaker.
No, it's *the* code-breaker. No more secrets.

word: מילה milah
bee: דבורה dvorah
speech: דבורה dibur
things, objects; words: דברים dvarim
stuff (n.): דברים dvarim...
...which appears upside-down at the beginning of the 'Scrabble' scene clip here.
I originally wanted to use that link, but can you believe it, it cuts off right before
"Honey, you and Melissa get your things."
Crazy, misses all of the connections! 🙂
