Which is the most complex language in the world?

Answer 1

Chick.
Everything means the opposite of the English translation, most questions have deeply hidden traps in them and there is no logical progression between sentences.

In addition, phrases such as " I would like to" means "you will"
maybe means no and no means maybe. Yes is a transitory word than often means maybe and sometimes means no. It very rarely means yes.

There are some well known traps such as "does my bum look big in this ?" but all males are advised to watch out for hidden meaning in every syllable that is uttered.

Good luck

Answer 2

Certain languages of Amazonia are regarded by linguists as being the most complex, whereas languages of East Asia are often regarded as the most simple. In fact the tones which appear so intimidating to westerners are an indicator of simplicity! Rather than invent a new word, just say it at a different pitch! Anyway, back to you question! The most complex are from Amazonia and the least complex from East Asia. This is interesting because East Asia is often regarded as being home to some of the world's most advanced and ancient cultures whereas the cultures of Amazonian tribal peoples are still regarded as 'primitive'. So you have the world's most advanced societies speaking the simplest languages and the most 'primitive' speaking the most complex languages!
Incidentally, English is not at all a complex language! just look at our verbs! I eat, You eat, We eat, They eat! or I am, you are, they are, we are! Simple! Our spelling's deeply odd because English has been a written language for so long!

Answer 3

English because, although it has set rules, it's really a constantly changing language. As it stands, there's two standard English dialects: British and American English. British English is a standard worldwide, but most of the world's citizens watch American TV, and those who can't afford English schooling learn second-hand by watching American programming.

English is complex because it's not the same as it was 50 years ago. And, the two main dialects don't always understand each other. British usually understand Americans more than the other way around. If you take a language like French, for example, it's the same language it was when Neopolian was speaking it 300 years ago. The French have safe-guarded their language as part of their nationalist campaign. English, although Germanic, is a mixture of all languages, including French, Russian, Arabic, and beyond. There's room to create your own words and make them part of common language (see Bootylicious). It's an alive language that evolves with the mindset of the ppl, and that's why it's complex. It can be studied, but it can never be contained to be one thing or another. The language that was spoken when I was growing up (about 20 years ago) is different than the language spoken now. Different phrases, slangs, appropriations, connotations. It's interesting how we can use one sound in English in many different ways (ex.: soul, sole). It's just a strange mix. But I love the way English is so pliable-- we can change it to suit our moods and our culture as it changes.

Answer 4

That depends upon your standards of comparison. That also depends upon the depth to which you wish to understand the language. Some languages are pretty much dead or stagnant. Others are changing all the time. Spanish has very rigid rules. I don't know how closely they are followed, but they are quite rigid. The only new words entering Spanish are from other languages such as the English microwave or blue jeans. One consideration is the sounds needed for the language. Some use subtle differences that I cannot tell, but the locals can quite easily. Others have a very complex structure. Others use syntax to change the meaning. Other languages use a vast vocabulary and very flexible structure. English has one of the most vast vocabularies of the languages. The sentence structure is not rigid. "The boy did run" is equivalent to "Run did the boy". The latter sounds odd but is correct. Another idea making English tops of difficulty is the number of words and spellings. Colour and color are the same. There and their sound the same. Anon is all but forgotten. In these senses English is the most complex. In the sense of syntax alone, English is pretty simple.

Answer 5

Arabic.

Even I, whose first language is Arabic, have never, and will never, fully be able to use the language perfectly. I know many people who have learnt the language, and even those with a PhD still have an extremely funny accent and have difficulty speaking it. Written Arabic may be much easier to learn and use than spoken Arabic.

Another important factor is the fact that the main Arabic language, the Literary Arabic (fusha) is no longer used by anyone! Now each and every country has its own dialect. Perhaps the closest dialect to the Fushah is the Jordanian. The problem with (amiah) is that its grammar is usually all wrong, and has strange vocabulary, compared to the Fusha.

There are also certain sounds in Arabic, that people whose first language is a daughter of Latin, or Germanic, find hard, and sometimes impossible to pronounce. For example Americans, find it hard to pronounce: 'ain ع ghain غ dha ض Hha ح Khha خ.

Learning to writing Arabic can also, be a nightmare. There are many accepted ways to write each letter, some of which can have nothing in common. In Arabic letters are joint together, and not written as separate. This is similar to cursive English, but more complexly as each letters shape depends on what precedes and follows it.

Answer 6

It depends on what kind of complexity.

!Xõó of southern Africa has the most complex sound system in the world. It has 126 consonants over half of which are clicks. But its grammar is not so complicated

Archi of the Caucasus mountains has the most complex verb system in the world. Each verb in Archi has 1.5 MILLION different forms and is conjugated for person and number of the subject, person and number of the object, evidentiality, tense, aspect, mood, and a variety of other parameters. The verb can have prefixes, suffixes, infixes, circumfixes, and metathesis all at once.

English has the most complex lexicon in the world because of the number of words that it has borrowed from different languages around the globe. The Oxford English Dictionary contains over 1.5 million words.

Vietnamese has the most complex sentence structure in the world because it uses no prefixes or suffixes on its words. Everything that is done with verb or noun marking in other languages is done with word order, syntactic structures, and sentence particles in Vietnamese.

Pawnee and Arikara of the American plains have the longest words on average. It is not uncommon to find words in Pawnee and Arikara that are 25 to 30 syllables long. Sentences, however, are very simple since all the things that we normally put as separate words in English winds up in one or two words in Pawnee. For example, the sentence "By making many trips, the squirrel carried a large amount of food up into the top of the tree" is just three words in Wichita (a related language) "squirrel", "tree" and everything else in the third word including a repeat of the word "tree".

There are many other types of complexity in the world's languages which could be measured and one or the other of these measures would have its "most complex" language.

Most Linguists agree that all languages of the world are equally complicated when you take all the measures of complexity together. Languages will be complex in one place, but simple in another. Since all languages of the world require about the same amount of time for a child to learn them to adult fluency, their overall level of complexity is all about the same.

Answer 7

chinese language is rather the main complicated, with the aid of extensive style of characters, however the main complicated must be Swahili. It became created initially as a procuring and merchandising language, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it blends English, Arabic, French, German and Bantu. initially, it became a very crude language, very such as a pidgin English, yet because it developed it grew to alter into greater polished, greater expressive and lots greater complicated. The exciting subject approximately Swahili is that the countless words are conjugated in accordance to the regulations of their root language -- so as a substitute of having one rule for each thing, you're able to have as much as 5 regulations! Mimi fundishi kidogo kiSwahili (which potential I talk a sprint Swahili)

Answer 8

English is regarded as the most complicated as it follows no strict patterns.
I am
You are
He is, etc.

You can have clusters of letters that although are the same are pronounced differently
rough, through, bough, borough, though, thought, hiccough

and regional variations in accent complicate matters further, e.g. 'loch'

English is a hybrid language of Anglo-Saxon, French, German, Italian etc.

You only have to look at the disparity between 'Queens' english, and 'American' english, to get some idea of how complicated and confusing it is.

And to answer your question correctly, 'Which' is not the most complex language in the world.
It doesn't exist.

Answer 9

Answer 11

difficult to say, but some of the most complex languages belong to the caucasian language family where some seem to not exhibit a vowel system.
