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 of yourself in English, it will take a couple of months of training, but if you repeat this trick with Polish or Hungarian, then they will have to be mastered for almost a year. So what is the most difficult language in the world? Today we recall the 10 most difficult of all existing ones.
The most difficult languages of the world: rating
We compiled our list from 10 to 1, where 10th place is the easiest of the most difficult, 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 place
The simplest of the complex languages turned out to be Icelandic, in which words from ancient times are preserved. At least in Europe, no one else consumes them.
This language cannot be thoroughly learned without communicating with its native speakers, since transcription is not able to convey the sounds that Icelanders use.
To make it completely clear to you what we are writing about right now, just try to say this word: Eyyafyadlayokyudl. This is the name of one of the volcanoes in Iceland. Want to learn this language?
The most difficult language in the world, 5th place
In 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: 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.
The most difficult language in the world: 1st placeChinese is rightfully in the first place by complexity, but this does not prevent it from being considered the most widespread on the planet.
This language contains 87,000 hieroglyphs, although you can communicate, knowing only 800, and you can read newspapers with someone who owns 3,000 hieroglyphs.
The problem is that the Chinese language has more than 10 dialects, and writing can be both columnar and horizontal, in European.
Today you learned about the most complex languages of the world, the list of which would be incomplete without some Slavic dialect. Unfortunately or fortunately, this was not Russian, but Polish. It turns out that his grammar has not so much the rules as the exceptions to them.
The most difficult language of the Slavic peoples is Polish
Our advice to those wishing to learn Polish thoroughly: start with a simple spoken language, and only when you master it, you can understand the logic of grammar. Suppose in this language there are 7 cases, and to understand how they are used, it is possible only in practice.
The alphabet consists of 32 letters, but many of them are pronounced in two or three versions, in different ways. This is especially interesting when the letter "l" is pronounced by the Poles as "in."
Therefore, we especially try to protect you from trying to understand Polish only by familiar words. In this country, our Russian words can have a completely different meaning.
If you do not want to puzzle over difficult languages, study European. 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 features.
Start with English, and then, maybe, you will get to Chinese.
