There is a myth that the Russian language is one of the most difficult in the world. However, in order to write a short summary about yourself in English, it will take a couple of months of training, but if you repeat this trick with Polish or Hungarian, then you will have to master them for almost a year. So what is the most difficult language in the world? Today we will remember the 10 most difficult of all.
The most difficult languages in the world: ranking
We have compiled our list from 10 to 1, where 10th place is the easiest of the difficult ones, and 1st place belongs to the most difficult language to learn.
We present you the list in descending order: Icelandic, Polish, Basque, Estonian, Navajo, Japanese, Hungarian, Tuyuka, Arabic, Chinese. Today we will talk about three of them.
The most difficult language in the world, 10th
The simplest of the complex languages turned out to be Icelandic, which retained words fromancient times. At least in Europe no one else uses them.
This language cannot be thoroughly learned without communicating with its native speakers, as the transcription is not able to convey the sounds that the Icelanders use.
To make it completely clear to you what we just wrote about, just try to pronounce this word: Eyyafyadlayokyudl. This is the name of one of the volcanoes in Iceland. Do you want to learn this language?
World's most difficult language, 5th
The fifth place in our ranking is Japanese. They say that you can learn to read Japanese characters, but this is not quite enough to start speaking it. Moreover, even writing in Japan is not easy.
There are three types of it: hieroglyphs, katakana and hiragana. And even in the very manner of writing, the Japanese distinguished themselves - they write from right to left, in a column. Local students were especially unlucky, because in order to get a diploma of higher education, you need to know 15,000 characters.
World's most difficult language: 1st
Chinese is rightfully in the first place in complexity, but this does not prevent it from being considered the most common on the planet.
This language contains 87,000 characters, although you can communicate with only 800 characters, and someone who knows 3,000 characters can read newspapers.
The problem is that the Chinese language has more than 10 dialects, and writing can be both in a column and horizontally, in European style.
Today you learned about the most difficultlanguages of the world, the list of which would be incomplete without some kind of Slavic dialect. Unfortunately or fortunately, this turned out to be not Russian, but Polish. It turns out that his grammar has not so much rules as exceptions to them.
The most difficult language of the Slavic peoples is Polish
Our advice to those who want to learn Polish thoroughly: start with a simple conversational language, and only when you master it, you will be able to understand the logic of grammar. Suppose there are 7 cases in this language, and you can only understand how they are used in practice.
The alphabet consists of 32 letters, but many of them are pronounced in two or three ways, in different ways. This is especially interesting when the Poles pronounce the letter “l” as “v”.
Therefore, we especially try to prevent you from trying to understand Polish only from familiar words. In this country, our Russian words may have a completely different meaning.
If you don't want to rack your brains over complex languages, learn European ones. They say that the brain of polyglots is much better developed, that their thinking and abilities are more perfect, but the main thing is not to go crazy while learning foreign words and pronunciation.
Start with English, and then maybe get to Chinese.
