1 - Any artificial languages like Klingon (this one mainly because it's horrible coloquially) or
Esperanto;

2 - Any dead language. Cause i have no interest in learning something that nobody uses unless to translate texts
that actually was already translated lol;

3 - Some incredibly hard languages like Arabic and Mandarin or any tonal languages.

4 - probably all asiatic language.


Learning difficult languages is extremely rewarding and fun. I didn't think I could learn a "difficult" language like
Japanese but it was easier than I thought.

There are two factors that I find myself considering to answer this question:

1. Which languages will I use the least or have the least amount of opportunity to learn?
2. Which of these languages is the most difficult?

That said, I think that the Agi language of Papua New Guinea would have to be at the top of my list.

For me it would have to be French.

I had a bad experience with it in school.
And when I was 7 I learned some phrases before a trip to France,
but when I got there no one would listen to me.
The made out like they couldn't understand my accent (possible, but I don't think I was that bad).
And I'm not to keen on how it sounds.

I think I have not been exposed to alot of languages (from Africa, to Asia, from the Americas to Europe) yet to be qualified enough to say that there's a language out there that I want to learn the least!

Hence, for the time being, I would like to get as much exposure as possible to a wide range of languages, and just simply enjoy them :)
