Most Beautiful English Words

According to this article in The Guardian, a survey of thousands of people resulted in the determination that 'mother' is the most beautiful word in the English language. Interesingly, neither 'money' nor 'sex' are included in the top 70 words listed in the article.

Oddly, as noted in a previous post, a similar survey conducted recently found that 'Habseligkeiten' is the most beautiful word in the German language.

So this means that 'mother' will be matched up with 'Habseligkeiten' in the contest for the world's most beautiful word.

It looks like a lock to me.
