Chinese and Arabic languages ​​are the most developed languages ​​used worldwide, but they are also the most difficult. The Mongolian language, Turkic language, and Finnish language are similar. In particular, the Mongolian language and the Turkic language are completely similar in pronunciation, grammar, and context, so they often seem like the same language. In particular, the Mongolian language and the Turkic language can be viewed as completely sibling languages. So the names of Mongols and Turks are similar. Moreover, it seems to be because the Mongols and the Turks were historically the same people to begin with and were nomadic peoples.

[@stellasonabilis9884]

The difficulty depends heavily on the native language. English speakers would find Scandinavian and Romance languages easier than Slavic ones. Indo-European as a whole are closer to them than e.g. Finnish. And the East Asian languages are associated with unfamiliar cultural codes. Different way of communicating, expressing oneself, etc.

[@mina.imnida]

Filipino is honestly pretty easy if you get used to the grammar and the basic common coversations. But the deep, uncommon words which usually appears in articles/news reports (especially in Filipino novels) are very hard to get used to.

The difficulty of the language actually comes from your native language if you speak English, mandarin is the hardest language Bc of the amount of difference there is the way it’s spoken, written, and structured.
