There is a joke that an "Estonian has no sex and no future," referring to the fact that there are no genders and no future tense in the Estonian language. But in fact, it is beautiful to listen to, intriguingly different, and terrifically satisfying to use once you get going. There is even a story that an Estonian phrase (s ida tasa le silla - meaning "go slowly over the bridge," perhaps more a traffic sign than romantic utterance) came second only to Italian in a sort of language beauty contest.
