Icelandic and Gothic and Norse and Faroese are some of the easiest category 1 languages with very easy category 1 pronunciation and the word memorability / prettiness of the words from the easiest languages ever like English and Dutch and Norwegian, Hungarian is a mid category 2 language that also has easy pronunciation and very memorable words, and Finnish / Estonian / Latvian are category 2 languages as well that are just slightly harder to memorize than Hungarian etc, they are among the easiest languages with very light spelling that use normal letters (the Latin alphabet aka the easiest alphabet ever) and don’t belong on this list, they should be on easy languages lists, tho I guess it’s still good that they were at least included on a list, as they don’t get included often, tho they should be among the top recommendations on every language recommendation list as the Norse languages like Icelandic and Norse etc are the most alpha languages ever created and are among the prettiest ever like English and Dutch etc, and Hungarian is also very pretty as most Hungarian words are very pretty and easy to memorize, as one naturally remembers the prettier and more distinctive words faster! 🇮🇸

Navajo is a category 6 language, harder than Russian which is category 5 with different alphabet, and harder than category 4 languages such as Polish and Czech with very heavy spelling that isn’t easy to read, which are definitely not easier than Icelandic which has a way lighter spelling that is lighter than the spelling of French or German etc and is very easy to read, so it isn’t easier than Hungarian - I am learning Icelandic and Norse and all other Germanic languages and Hungarian and Finnish etc, and they are all very easy to read / learn, náda ‘hard’ about them, tho any language is going to seem ‘hard’ to a beginner, I guess, but, the real hard languages that are objectively hard are category 6 to category 10 languages with odd scripts and characters and tones etc that are impossible to read / memorize / pronounce etc!
@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc80385 ай бұрын
By the way, my current levels are... - upper intermediate level in Old Norse / Icelandic / German - writer level in English + native speaker level in Spanish - upper advanced level in Dutch + advanced level in Norwegian - intermediate level in Swedish / Portuguese / French / Italian / Welsh - beginner level in Breton / Hungarian / Gothic / Latin / Faroese / Galician / Danish / Slovene - total beginner in Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic / Aranese / Elfdalian / Gallo / Limburgish / Occitan / Luxembourgish / Catalan / Urkers / Hunsrik / East Norse / Ruhrpöttisch / Alemannic / Ripuarian / Swiss German / Pälzische Deutsch / Austrian German / Waddisch / Palatine German / Westföälsk Sassisk / Austro-Bavarian / PlatDeitsch / Greenlandic Norse / Friulian / Pretarolo / Sardinian / Neapolitan / Sicilian / Venetian / Esperanto / Walloon / Ladin / Guernsey / Norn / Burgundian / Sognamål / West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian / Yiddish / Afrikaans / Finnish / Latvian / Estonian etc (and the other languages based on Dutch / German / Norwegian / Italian / French that are referred to as ‘dialects’ but are usually a different language with different spelling etc) (I highly recommend learning Dutch / Icelandic + Norse + Faroese / Norwegian as they are so magical, as pretty / refined / poetic as English - all other Germanic and the other pretty languages on my list are also gorgeous, so they are all a great option!)
@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc80385 ай бұрын
The correct rankings are... Icelandic / Norse / Faroese and Slovene are category 1 languages, and Hungarian and Latvian and Finnish and Estonian are category 2 languages - they should be on easy languages list, they don’t belong on this list, as do all other Germanic languages! Irish and Scottish Gaelic are category 3 languages, still pretty easy, compared to most others! Czech and Polish are category 4 languages with very heavy spelling! Russian is a category 5 language using a different alphabet! Navajo is a category 6 or category 7 language, totally not easier than Hungarian lol! Thai and Vietnamese are category 8 and 7 languages, extremely difficult to learn / memorize / understand or to differentiate between such short words that sound exactly the same, same as Chinese and Korean words! Arabic and Korean are category 9 languages, impossible to read and to understand short words that sound exactly the same! Japanese is category 9.5 or 10, as its writing is as hard as that of Chinese, honestly, only the pronunciation is slightly less complicated, but it still has pitch accents, which are similar to tones! Cantonese and Mandarin are category 10 languages, as both the characters and the tonal pronunciation are category ten, and they have up to eight tones!

Still I'm really determined to learn it.

Icelandic is actually a category 1 language, like every other Norse / Germanic language - it’s way easier than I thought it would be at first, even though when I first started learning it I thought it was category 2 due to the vowels with accents, but Icelandic words are way easier to pronounce and to spell than German and French and Spanish words which can be with random accents or with many consonant clusters, because in Norse languages the vowels with accents are in fact different sounds and not actual accents, so Icelandic is easier than German / French / Spanish which are also category 1, and Slovene is also category 1, and Hungarian and Latvian and Finnish and Estonian are category 2 languages, so these languages should be on easy languages lists! By the way, things such as language difficulty and prettiness etc are very objective facts, and the language difficulty level is determined by the aspect / type of writing system / alphabet used (the Latin alphabet is the easiest and most practical alphabet ever created) and the prettiness / memorability level of most of the words (pretty and distinctive words are naturally easy to learn) and the level of organization and lightness and by how easy or hard the pronunciation is etc, and pretty languages aka languages with mostly pretty words are automatically easy to learn, while the prettiest languages ever created Norse / Gothic / Icelandic / Faroese / English / Dutch / Norwegian / Danish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish are the easiest to learn, and, all Germanic languages and the Celtic languages and the true Latin languages are all easy languages! Polish and Czech are category 4 languages tho not among the hardest ever, Russian and other similar languages using the Cyrillic alphabet are category 5, Navajo is category 6 or 7, Vietnamese is category 7, Thai and Indian languages are category 8 languages, Arabic languages and Korean are all category 9 languages, Japanese and Chinese languages are all category 10 languages with the hardest writing systems, which are not actual alphabets, but characters, that also have the hardest pronunciation which has tones and pitch accents!

@@mykittenisaferociousnugget thats true but arabic has sounds that dont exist in other languages. such as ض . Ive learnt mandarin and its easy, the tones are tricky at first but its a simple concept. Arabic is my second language and it is definitely the hardest. There are so many words in arabic, all words can have 100+ different meanings. There are words for extremely specific things, for example there are 700+ words for camels - even a camel who likes to walk behind other camels has a specific word for it, and even more very specific things have its own word. Mandarin is very simple in comparison, hard in general, but not comparable to arabic. To understand it, have a read about the composition of the Qur’an, which is perfect eloquent arabic and incomparable to even the best arabic poetry at any time of arab history, when it was revealed, the greatest poets who had mastered the arabic language thought the Qur’an was magic, because of how incomprehensibly perfect it was with an entire new system and format than any type of prose or poetry, its not even in those categories. Till now, the Qur’an is the utmost standard of arabic, the most eloquent language in the world. One can never master arabic, only learn learn learn

Hungarian is tricky because it's agglutinative, even for us native Slavic speakers who know a thing or two about difficult language. :D Besides different grammar and syntax compared to Indo-European languages, one other thing that makes it additionally difficult is lack of similar stems to hold onto. There is no familiarity (well, except for mačka, suknja and some other words that were loaned from Hungarian into Croatian, but that's about it).

The many nuanced rules, the vowel harmony, the conjugation, and of course the more advanced rules that even Hungarians tend to be unaware of (like the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mozgószabály) make the whole thing close to impossible to master. I have a relative that learnt Hungarian in his 20s, he still speaks with an accent and couldn't get the grammar down perfectly, but he's fluent. Respect for anyone like him lol

Cantonese in the corner: I think the reason why Korean and Japanese are so hard to learn is because they use a different sentence structure compared to English. Tonal languages are definitely harder to learn for English speakers, though. Cantonese and Mandarin have quite similar sentence structures to English, but because of how complicated the tonal system is, people can end up saying something super offensive in, say, Cantonese, when they actually mean to say something normal.

Bro calling chinese difficult is like calling a 1st grade mathbook with 300 pages difficult. Difficulty is not length, and as someone learning chinese, i find this a load of rubbish. Chinese grammar is simple, the pronounciation is slightly above easy merely because of tones, and after a bit of reading, you can recognize patterns in how letters are made. Stop ranking language difficulty on time, because if we all just wrote in chinese Pinyin, it would be called one of the easiest languages.

As someone of Basque ethnicity, I think Basque is the hardest on this list. I only know basic words such as hello and mom. Not only does Basque have such complex case declension, meaning a single word can take up over 200 forms, there are also very few resources to learn this language. Compared to most language isolates like Korean and Japanese, Basque has little media out there to help learn. I've wanted to learn the language that my family was forbidden to speak for decades but it's been so hard to find a course. I speak Spanish and English fluently and natively and I've been learning Japanese for 3 years, I think it comes down to the individual but also how many resources and media there are for the language.

한국어(언어)는 어려울 수 있으나, 한글(문자)은 굉장히 쉽습니다. 여러분들이 한글(문자)을 배운다면 짧은 시간 안에 단어나 문장을 읽기가 가능하게 될 것입니다. 비록 그 뜻은 몰라도요.

as someone who is learning 6 of the languages from this list, my opinion is chinese actually isn't as hard as it seems, japanese also doesn't seem to complicated, korean seems pretty simple so far, arabic not been too bad so far, hungarian is actually not very difficult at all for me, yes there is a lot to learn but it all makes sense, and polish I found to maybe actually be the hardest out of all of these

Japanese gets worse the further you get into it. That's what I've heard at least.

I think Japanese is hard because you have to learn kanji (which is borrowed from Chinese), but there really aren't any difficult sounds in it, unlike in Mandarin, for instance, which I find super hard. I've been studying Japanese for almost a year now and love it.

The kanji have a lot of reading and that's what make them complicated

@@geistescrashednana933 Trotzdem kann man nicht einfach alle Wörter in einen Topf schmeißen. Du weißt es ja das Deutsch eine verdammt schwere Sprache ist und nicht mal Muttersprachler sie vollständig können. Das längste Wort habe ich nur kommentiert um zu zeigen wie anspruchsvoll Deutsch später werden kann :D

@@boredKakashi Lustigerweise ist dein Beispiel eher dafür, warum deutsch für lernende einfacher ist. Du kannst aus allem Wörter basteln und es wird irgendwie verstanden und sinnvoll klingen. Genitiv, Dativ und die Aussprache bestimmter Laute werden im Deutschen als schwierig angesehen. Deutsch ist eher komplex für eine germanische Sprache. Etwa auf dem gleichen Level wie französisch oder isländisch.

German is too easy. Any language that requires learning new phonetics is the hardest. Georgian should be atleast in top 5

I'm also a Muslim, and I did quit reading Quran for a long time so I forgot how to read Arabic, but it's definitely not easy💀. Remember when we had to learn all the pronunciations before actually reading the Quran? We had to literally learn 100+ letters. It takes months. My siblings and friends had a hard time pronouncing "Quaf"..
