While not necessarily the hardest, the languages that are most unrelated to any other language are: Hungarian and Basque.

There's a saying about a man who studied Basque and after nine years he knew seven words. Probably an exaggeration, but still.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It is, but distantly. It's not like any of the other Indo-European languages that populate the rest of Europe.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Another undeciphered language. There are many of them -- for a long time, Egyptian was until the Rosetta Stone was discovered. If that had been destroyed or hadn't existed, it would probably remain an undeciphered language to this day.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
