You are looking scientific answer.
Sanskrit is the easiest language. Science behind this is such that a new born child learns their earliest words from sanskrit vowels. Hence any human being have natural capability to learn sanskrit. Moreover due to highly structured nature of the language it is most suitable to be language of computers too. Thus making it a potential candidate for universal language.

The easiest language to learn would not necessarily make the best language for the entire world. Some languages are more beautiful. Others have more variety.
But the easiest might, I would guess, be Spanish. It's a root romance language. No symbolic letters. More rule-following than English or German.

Well, I was raised in a bilingual home in Canada, using French and English (Generally using French in the home, and English outside of the home). I can also speak Dutch, Spanish, and German. I would say, out of my native languages, French is much easier than English. I also found Dutch quite easy. So, I would say that either French or Dutch would be the easiest. But I'll tell you, it's not Spanish. Spanish is a lot harder than French, at least, that's what I found. So, I definitely believe that either French or Dutch would be the easiest languages and either would be the best new Universal language. But French is spoken by more people. Although, I bet it will be Chinese, lol!

I believe Spanish is the easiest language to learn.
I am not sure if you know this but sign language is already a universal language along with math.

sorry but science wont help on this one. there is no language that is EASIER to learn and speak than another it depends on the person when it comes to learning a new language but when you are first born you pick up the language(s) that are most spoken around you, there may be no study of this but if u were to take a just born baby, lets say American and u exposed it to mostly ( more than 3/4) of Hmong language and some english it would learn to speak fluently in Hmong and even have the accent and possibly some english but it would struggle with it almost or just as much as a child versed only in Hmong would. that's my theory on it anyway like i said theres not likely to have been any scientific study of it

spanish i believe has the most people speaking it now. but for global prosperity i believe that english would probably work. It is a scientific language ( the others are german, russian, japanese, and another i forget.) Also it is spoken by most people in other countries although it is usually not their first language

The more developed languages are easier, and if u wanna find and easy language while it is useful, you must look at their linguistic abilities. i believe and im sure(because i have done a research about it) that Farsi( Persian) is the best choice.

Spanish is easiest. Now let's see if we can get everybody else to use it.
Cultural inertia and switching costs are well-documented obstacles to progress (look up the story of QWERTY keyboard)
