For most westerners I would think Cantonese and Mandarin are the hardest

@Dlrannie why do u think that? Are the characters difficult to interpret?

@AllTheMissinNo They are both tonal languages and obviously use a different alphabet to most western languages

@Dlrannie I know. I leaned Mandarin through high school

@AllTheMissinNo I think there are upward of 6,000 characters but most people commonly use less than 1,000

@AllTheMissinNo Good for you - they say it's a bit easier to learn than Canto

@Dlrannie I guess but all I remember from that long ago is counting to like 3
