I don't which one is harder out of Arabic and Mandarin/Cantonese, but they are definitely at the top of my list.

Finnish would be in my top 20 too, I find it so complicated.

Chinese by far, you need to learn at least 2000 complicated ideograms to be able to communicate in a basic level

I think you'll find it is, haha . Compare it with your neighbouring Swedish and Norwegian. I think there was a time I thought I'd learn Finnish. I decided to teach myself the numbers first and after I saw the numbers after 10, I never done another lesson again.

Yeah, yeah, you need to know the language to realise its beauty. For everyone else it's just endless äklökakkatussutässäedessäni.

All those words means something, though they are linked together. "Yucky poo vagina here in front of me" that means.
