not that I'm bragging or anything, but being familiar with a lot of language grammars and all, I think Arabic so far beats the hell out of even chinese when it comes to difficulty!

once again, you fail to get my joke...where did we go wrong jahannam?

It was a continuation, if you will, of what you said about fstkhnan's arabic.

As I said later on, french is nowhere to being close to being difficult to know. But MASTERING it is actually tough.

I would say the most hardest language is that african clcking and chirping language.

Originally posted by Baron Dants umm, yea...it CERTAINLY isn't as tough as french either...french is pretty damn hard. Trust me, EYE (as jahannam would say) would know. But yea, it still is pretty hard...I wouldn't know if it beats french though.

Originally posted by Anonymouse By the way, your tagline is also my tagline on the historychannel.com forums. Are there coincidences or are things divinely inspired?

I don't believe in coincidences

History Channel eh? Are there any forums you're not part of?

Check this out: In French (sorry Anon)

Armenian is said to be an independant branch of indo-european languages. In the set of indo-european language, we may find also Persian. It may explain the birth of a more local dialect "barsicahayeren".

French people can't prononce the phonem you mentionned, and I can't differentiate some subtleties. I hope i'll learn...

Originally posted by Baron Dants You know, in Armenia this summer, I found it to be one of the coolest things when armenians from our group (who didn't speak arevelahyeren) and local armenians (who didn't speak arevmtahyeren) tried to understand what the other one was saying, and eventually created some sort of common language.


moments that make you go aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I was with some people who use some local expressions borrowed to russian. For my part, I tend to mix some turk and arab words when i speak.
By the way, they were very patient with me, that was good.

Haha. I'll take your word for it. You would be the most qualified of us all.


Unless we have a half-armenian half-chinese poster?

Originally posted by Baron Dants I was just kidding about french being tougher than armenian.

Except cantonese and all, I would guess that getting all the sounds right in armenian would be the hardest.

French doesn't have the tch, J (hard J), kh, gk, dt, bp, or even r, which is pronounced as "gh".
