Answer 2

I would say that there's unlikely to be much difference among languages in the level of difficulty for a child learning to speak - all languages tend to develop odd features that reflect the history and culture of the speakers, but they can't be too odd because they would become difficult to learn, and people then start simplifying things.
On the other hand, some writing systems are definitely easier than others, even for native speakers. Spanish, Italian, Turkish, German, among others, have written forms that have a fairly straightforward relationship to speech. French is more difficult, as you can't always predict the spelling from the sound, eg haut, au, aux, eau, eaux all sound the same. But at least you can predict the pronunciation from the spelling, which isn't always the case in English.
Still English is easy compared with Chinese, and really easy compared with Japanese.

For English speakers, European languages are easier to learn, especially in the earlier stages, as they have more words in common, and more similar grammatical structures, than say Arabic or Chinese.

Answer 3

Thats a very interesting question. However, every language is complex in its own way. Obviously, we would think Swahili is very complicated and impossible to learn while others might think English is hopeless.
Sign language is a good answer since it doesn't matter where the person is from. All they have to do is learn letters and words which comes with practice.

Answer 4

Category I Language (carefully regarding English) : Indonesian (a complicated Category I language, an identical in studying concern to for illustration German) Category II languages (giant linguistic and/or cultural variations from English) : Kurdish, Pashto, Persian (Dari, Farsi or Tajik), Russian, Somali, Turkish, Hindi/Urdu Category III languages (really complicated for local English audio system) : Arabic, Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin, Taiwanese, Wu, ...), Korean

Answer 5

I'd say Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian)

Easy grammar:

in plural, just say the word twice (unless a specified number is used)
child = anak
one child = satu anak
two children = dua anak
children = anak-anak

Past is expressed by using the word for "already"
to walk = jalan
walked = sudah jalan
I walk there = saya jalan kesana
I walked there = saya sudah jalan kesana

Future is expressed by using the word for "will"
to eat = makan
I will eat = saya akan makan

There is no form of "the" in Bahasa Indonesia (try that in German!)

Best way to learn is start with the verbs, from a vocabulary.

Answer 6

i would say Spanish because what you read is what you are saying. you are able to sound out the words.

i learn English when i was 5 and French when i was 12. because i didnt practice French i cant say i speak it but it was very easy to learn, its similar to Spanish and English. i also learn some Italian when i was 20 and it was also easy and close to Spanish.

i knew a French girl that learn English, Spanish, Italian and German in a month for each language. she went to each country to learn. so if you want to learn a language see if you could go to the country of the lang. you want to learn and go. its the most exciting thing you could ever do, so much fun, you meet so many people from so many different countries. i had a blast when i went to england for 3 months...

my daughter and i learn american sign lang and it was easy too, but we couldnt talk to my sister in law, because she is korean and knows korean sign lang.

Answer 7

Well since I am English I say the easiest is English!

Yeah, maybe Esperanto. Seriously, I can't think that any of the languages is exactly _logical_.

Answer 9

The language that you can transmit your opinions and thoughts easily (gesture and body language)

Answer 10
