Well, syntax, first of all, and grammar. The movement needed for the mouth, lips, tongue, and teeth to say words are different for each language as well. The characters - or 'letters' for the English language - are different. The connotations carried by each word is also different, therefore the way they are said is different: for example, an unpleasant word is spat out, whereas a pleasant word is said with a smile, which affects the way they sound to the listener, and this is generally different for each language.
