The hardest language in the world?

I've understood that learning a language that isn't somehow related to your native language is what gets to be difficult. Though this would make it seem like anything that descends from Indo-European means that a French speaking person should be able to pick up Sanskrit a lot easier than someone native to Japan.

Anyway, I think learning something like Old English would be rather hard for someone. As English today has many influences from German, Welsh, Gaelic, Latin, French, and Greek, which has turned it into this very strange broth of words that we speak today. Not stopping me from wanting to take up on it, but I can't study it here in Wyoming. Same with Norwegian. Guess I'll have to go with German, since English is a Germanic language, and I'd be able to make connections with both.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
