Telugu is definitely the best and sweetest language, need not to decide by you and me.
Already declared by great pundits of Carnatic music.
And for god sake do not compare it with any other language.
I fall in love with Telugu Language. It is very poetic when listening or speaking.
(Our Subramanya Barathiyar had written Sundara Telunginil Pattu Isaippom). Known as Mahakavi Bharathiyar
(the laudatory epithet Maha Kavi meaning Great Poet in Tamil)
Bharathi composed Carnatic music kritis in Tamil on love, devotion, etc. He set his songs to music and could sing them well in a variety of ragas.
Alhough he was fluent in Sanskrit and other languages including Bengali, Hindi, Sanskrit, Kutchi, French and English, he only composed two songs purely in Sanskrit, with the vast majority being in Tamil.
Thogh he loves tamil so much,he accepted telugu as the sweetest language.
Most of the songs those days were in Telugu and Sanskrit.
Another Maha kavi has said
kavignar Kanadhasan said it in a Tamil song 'Sinthu nathiyin........Sundara telunginil patisaithu'
Even the Britishers has praised telugu as the italian of the east.
It is always believed that Telugu is a musical language because it ends with vowel sounds.
Great pandit and ruler Srikrishnadevaraaya has praised telugu as
“Deshabaashalandu telugu lessa” which meansTelugu is superior to all languages.
May be that’s the reason most of the kirtanas in carnatic music are in Telugu but not in any other language.
