Icelandic maybe? Or just one of the hardest languages.
YES! Icelandic probably is the hardest. I watched a documentary where this guy learned it in a week O_O...to the point where he could be interviewed haha.

@IDidNotFart: I saw that too, the guy was an autistic savant and could pretty much learn anything he wanted within hours/days.. so they tested him with icelandic because its one of the hardest languages to learn

@Tminus6453: Oooohhhh yeah I see. Icelandic is pretty hard, I've been trying to learn basic stuff for years!
@IDidNotFart: People I know that can speak multiple languages where English isn't their first language have said English was extremely difficult for them to learn. I mean I wouldn't know since it's my mother tongue.
@IDidNotFart: Yeah the guy was a savant he could also multiply huge numbers in his head. The Boy with the Incredible Brain

@dreamingofoz: English is not my first language and I speak quite a few languages and English is too easy compared to them and my first language.
