Every other language: telling about grammar, alphabet, etc
Polish: well... it's just difficult

I'm hungarian. And the hungarian language is soooo difficult for other peoples to learn

Have you guys heard the language called Malayalam.

[RU-ntir]

As a native Japanese, English is probably the most difficult language to master. Japanese and English are conceptually and linguistically so different, translation method simply doesn't work, which is pretty tough for me.

I think Malayalam is the toughest language.. difficult to speak pronounce

[mrfrog]

"Ég er að læra íslensku" or I am learning Icelandic. Some aspects of the language are complex, for example the definite article and the rolled and voiceless r, but other things are relatively easy! For example, spelling is pretty transparent, word stress always on the first syllable, syntax, descriptive vocabulary... All languages require hard work and time!

my language is "georgian" (ქართული/kartuli) and its one of the most difficult language to learn and because i can speak this language i easily mastered english, russian, german and i can read and write in Japanese and korean.

I am Hungarian and I don’t understand why foreigners say we produce deep-in-the-throat sounds. I don’t feel I speak deep from my throat when I speak Hungarian. I think people who say these things don’t speak Hungarian themselves at all.

I am from Poland so, this is why I know how to speak Polish

[BLINKARMY-gcch]

[robertkukuczka]

I learnt Hungarian and it is not so difficult. Polish is more difficult according to me.

[stza]

Mandarin is insanely easy once you get passed the tones.

[takoja]

Whaat? You have Estonian but not Finnish? They are in the same family of languages...
So why not Finnish on the list?


Just curious!

[nutshell]

Actually, hardest language is cantonese. I’m actually from Hong Kong. And it’s super hard to learn.

[askoagomez]

Proud of speaking basque, and as a basque, I approve that is a hard lenguaje😅

Asking which language is the hardest depends upon which language ur comparing it ON like for example if ur a native English speaker it will be hard for you to learn Polish but if you are like for say Kashubian you dont even need to learn the language u just need to talk to some Polish guys for some time u will learn it in like 2 week

(Comparing it on the basis of English)
I like to categorise them on the basis of Writing system, Phonology and Grammar and the hardest will be a mix of all the factors...

*For writing system* of course Hanzi/Kanji from Chinese/Japanese (Korean and Vietnamese also used a version of Hanzi in the past Hanja for Korean and Chu nom for Vietnamese)
Another one would be Akkadian/Hittite which is no longer spoken of course

*For Phonology* it definitely has to be the Salishan languages those language are *BIZARRE* you get entire sentences snuggled into a single word (unfortunately all of them are endangered), I think the hardest of them all Nuxalk you get words like *clhp'xwlhtlhplhhskwts' (IPA xɬpʼχʷɬtʰɬpʰɬːskʷʰt͡sʼ)* (I told you) (And no vowels!) and it means 'then he had in his possession a bunchberry plant.'

*For Grammar* I think it should be based on the language which has the most Noun cases and that reward goes to Ithkuil with *96 matafa-ing* noun cases but that is a Constructed language so it doesn't count ig, the natural language with the most noun cases is Tsez's impressive 64 cases

*Overall* I think its Ithkuil which is just made to be hard and well its an constructed language... *SO IT DOESNT COUNT!?!!, * out of the natural languages the Salishan languages especially Nuxalk are *THE* hardest as I told you they are extremely polysynthetic so basically the complete opposite of English, rest of the grammar is also bolz and as I showed you its phonology is.... im not saying.

The most beautiful language is the 12 million words language (Arabic).

أنتَ ، أنتِ ، أنتُما ، أنتُمْ ، أنتُنَّ.
In English : you, you, you, you, you.

😂😂😂

For me all the languages in the world are easy to learn, but Arabic is the deepest and the best at describing feelings and emotions and other stuff.

[derschutzsargent]

Gheg Albanian is one of the hardest of the world because it is an indoeuropean language.

[gftyhify]

I consider German a difficult language for English speakers. Which is ironic given that they are both Germanic languages
