What languages are the most difficult to explore
The answer to this question often depends on what is your native language. For example, the Russian is easier to learn Polish or Czech language than Norwegian or Swedish, and the British — on the contrary. But UNESCO still tried to call the top ten languages are equally complex for most people on the planet.
10. French
French is the official language in 29 countries. It belongs to the romance family of languages, so that those who speak Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, or Romanian, he taught Latin, he does not seem very difficult. But for others its study can be a puzzle.

The most difficult part of French phonetics. There are a lot of vowels and words are pronounced together. Beginners in the study of have really bad.
9. Danish
The Scandinavian language group, spoken by slightly less than 6 million people. The sound system of Danish is in many ways unusual for languages of the world. It has 26 vowel sounds. The sounds are long or short. If pronounced incorrectly, the meaning of the word can completely change. For example, “Gil” with a long “I” means “howl”, and brief — “the regiment”.

The difficulty is that the officially approved standard of spoken Norwegian exists, and most Norwegians speak their own dialect. You can go to Oslo and to learn the local version, but not the fact that you understand on the other end of the country.

In German, too many dialects, and phonetics has 44 sound, including 16 vowels. The complexity that is inflected and analytical languages- words are changing depending on time, mortality, etc.

Language itself is not very complicated, if you just want to talk or to understand what is said. Another thing, if you need to learn to read and write. Between written and spoken language is a huge difference. The word “kanji”, that is, Japanese characters, makes newbies nervous. Characters of about 2 thousand and a few readings. Individual character is read not as in combination with other.

Archaic vocabulary and complex grammar make Icelandic is very difficult to master. The literary language is virtually unchanged since the 13th century. In the alphabet even preserved two ancient runic letters. In the language of the four deaths, three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine and neuter) and two paradigms of declension.

Of course, in the first place scares beginners Arabic script in which it is difficult to recognize individual letters. The second difficulty is the pronunciation. Arabic has many sounds that are hardly discernable to the European ear. For example, the language has three letters that are pronounced like “s”, to capture the difference between these sounds is not easy.

Another difficulty is the ambiguity of Arabic words. They cannot be taught without reference to the context and listening to live speech.
2. Greek
The Greek spelling is very complicated. For example, to denote the sound “and” there are six different letters and letter combinations. The situation is similar with other vowels, and there is no logical explanation or General rules, where what letter to use. The correct spelling you just need to memorize.

But the main difficulty is the case. There are only three, but when you change the words of changing not only its ending, but the emphasis.
1. Chinese
The most difficult language in the world. Will agree with almost everything. The first difficulty is the characters. They represent a syllable or a whole word.

Even worse is the case with phonetics. It includes 4 tones: ascending, smooth, flowing and falling. If you make a mistake in playing one of them, can distort the meaning of a word or an entire phrase. The Chinese say up to 6 times faster than the Russian. To learn to understand this flow can only be in a long-term communication with native speakers.
