Hardest language

French and East Asian languages seem hard to learn

@kimia_ashirley My great grandmother spoke 19th century Floridian, and she was very difficult to understand.

Hungarian.

Gibberish.

Easy to speak, but so hard to understand.

What's Floridian? I don't know!!!

@kimia_ashirley It was sort of a joke. But if you go to Florida today everybody is quite understandable. My great grandmother spoke with a kind of Southern drawl that no longer even exists and was very hard to understand.

Hard as heck to learn

I would say that the different Asian languages (Mandarin, Japanese, Korean) are undoubtedly the most difficult for Westerners to learn, particularly orally in relation to the accuracy of intonation.

in writing, I would say that German is quite a challenge when it comes to long words

@Karlito_El_AZT3CO I would think that ancient Egyptian would be a tougher language to learn than ancient Phoenician, since ancient Phoenician is relatively close to ancient Hebrew, a very well-understood language with an alphabet. Reading hieroglyphics fluently sounds tough. I could be wrong, just a guess.
