In linguistics, there is no such thing as the "hardest" language. If a language has a complex morphology, it probably has a simpler syntax or phonology. Each language is difficult, just in different ways. Russian is very difficult morphologically, but syntax is very free. On the other hand, Chinese has almost no morphology, but the syntax is very strict and complex. The phonology is no piece of cake either. English tends to tend towards Chinese on this scale. Yes, it is an Indo-European language, but it has diverged a lot, losing most morphological endings.
And Linear A isn't a language. It's a script. And it's like that only because no one has deciphered it yet. Who knows, it could have been used to write English for all we know. The reason it's deciphered is that the language that it probably was used to write is lost to us now, and it's not related to any other script we know of. Jam it back in, in the dark.
