Which is the easiest and the toughest language of the world?

Answer 1

If Icelandic is not the toughest, it is certainly among the toughest. I'm not sure what the easiest is, although Spanish may be it. The pronunciation is very uniform and there aren't many vocabulary surprises. The grammar and syntax are the same as the standard Romance languages.

Answer from a linguist:

Everyone is wired differently, so there's actually no such thing as "easiest" or "toughest" when it comes to language. It depends entirely on the person and their ability and motivation. Spanish may be easy for some, and difficult for others. The same person that struggles in Spanish may find that German is very easy.

English speakers generally have a more difficult time learning foreign languages than others, because English has become an international language, reducing the need to learn foreign languages. Also, English speakers generally live in districts where foreign languages are not taught in school until Middle School or Junior High School.

Answer 2

The easiest language may vary for each individual based on their native language and language learning experience, but languages like Spanish, Italian, and Dutch are often considered relatively easy for English speakers to learn. Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, and Japanese are generally considered among the toughest languages due to their complex writing systems and grammatical structures.
