This is simple enough-- give a brief description based solely on the look of the avatar above you. What language do you imagine that person speaking? It can be poetic ("sounds like wind in the trees"), technical ("with no less than 14 distinct vowels and 23 noun genders") or could even include samples ("taribula tyen avindoli").

A language with lots of liquids and fricatives, very few plosives, and a ton of unvoiced, but aspirated sounds. No nasals.
One that sounds like a sizzling fire.

One that's soft, but strong and clear sounding.
(I really don't feel like going technical guys, sorry. stressed )

Lots of unaspirated, voiced, front consonants and open vowels. It has syllabic consonants and few, unfrequent fricatives.

A very high-pitched language. More unvoiced stops than voiced ones, and only a few fricatives, with a couple affricates here and there. The vowels are clearly pronounced and accentuated. Diphthongs galore, but still with very clear pronunciation. Overall, a very cute-sounding language. =)

An analytic language, with many fricatives. Maybe some sort of honorifics... And very few vowel distinctions, maybe just /a/ /i/ /u/, as Arabic. Large number of homophones, leaving the meaning to context.

A smooth language. Just rolls off the tongue - don't really have to think about what you say, even if it's your second language. It just comes out. MANY distinct vowels. No guttural sounds - nearly all words beginning with a consonant and nearly all ending in a vowel. An equal amount of hard and soft sounds. For every hard sound, there is a soft counterpart. Hard sounds usually used for formal situations, soft for informal situations. Also one can change the hard and soft sounds depending on their mood in informal situations.
Noun genders only for living creatures. Maybe some simple honorifics, but only for formal situations.
