Perhaps most people have heard of the Tower of Babel, and its legend.It was she who said, that before all the people understood each other, and the language was the same for all.But it lasted only until such time as mankind angered God, who dissociate understanding of the language speech former comrades, forcing them to settle around the world, basing their nations with unique traditions and culture.
So it was or not, but now in the world there are more than 7,000 languages.Of course, this figure is rather abstract, because we can not exclude specific dialects and many assorted conventions differences between languages.The most common language in the world is always different eras in time: at different times "language" domination took Latin, French, Spanish, Arabic, Greek and other languages.Time goes by - established traditions are changing.Today in the world of entrenched English, but will he be able to live long?Let's not talk about it now.The most common languages of the world in 2013 - a Chinese and English, which is caused by the economic and political domination of the US and China, and also because of historical events.
World Languages
Mankind has always sought for new discoveries and familiarization lands unknown to them, which encouraged brave like Christopher Columbus or Francis Drake to the implementation of long-distance travel.The era of great geographical discoveries paved the way for English, Portuguese and Spanish to the remote corners of our planet, raising their overall ranking and recognition.Currently there are 8 languages, which are "the world" - is English, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, French, Portuguese and German.They have the largest number of vehicles, the number of which is equivalent to 4.3 billion people, representing about 60% of the total population.
most widely spoken language in the world - it is English that has 1.4 billion vehicles, and is universal for international communication.Next to these "giants" in the language environment, there is another side to the coin, which holds "endangered" languages are doomed to extinction.For example, these are the languages Udege, itonama, Kaguya, Goundi and others, each of which is native to less than 100 people worldwide.As a rule, the languages of tribes in remote areas of Africa or South America.
complex language world
Now we will try to make the top 5, ie rating languages, which are not only the most difficult thing to learn, but even to learn at least a little to explain its carriers.Of course, it is impossible to pinpoint the most difficult language to learn, because for most people a huge role to play kinship languages.For example, the Russian will be easier to learn Ukrainian or Belarusian, rather than the French and the Japanese will not be particularly difficult to learn Chinese, but it is hard to understand Spanish and the like.However, you can select an objective point of view on the complex language that will be based on a set of rules and common traditions.So, let's begin.
Chinese
For several reasons, this is the language won first place in our top.First, there are considerable difficulties with the characters used in the letter.Often, even the Chinese is difficult to understand this or that character, not to mention foreigners.Each of the word for their hieroglyph, but still not a phonetic, which makes it impossible to know in advance pronunciation of a word.It is adding fuel to the fire and tonal system consisting of four tones in the language.Finally, an extremely large number of Chinese homophones, which greatly complicates mastering the language.Finally say that the Chinese - it is the most widely spoken language in the world by number of speakers, is considered his family.
Arabic
And another language, where there are considerable difficulties with writing.The fact that some of the letters have 4 different forms of writing, depending on their position in a particular word.Plus, the vowels are not used in the letter.It is not easy to learn and sounds, words, and that complicated.Verbs in Arabic usually go before the verb, and object.The verb also has 3 numbers, so that nouns and verbs must be studied in single, dual and plural.In the present time there are 13 different forms.The noun has 3 case and kind 2.List of issues and complete the Arab dialects are as much different languages in Arabic speaking countries, such as, for example, French and Spanish.
Tuyuk
This language belongs to one of the many common in Eastern Amazonia.The sound system does not cause any difficulties should, however, some agglutination can plunge into shock.For example, the word hóabãsiriga means "I do not know how to write."In language there are about 50-140 classes of nouns (birth), but the most surprising thing about it is that the speaker must use specific verb endings, which may make it clear how he knows that what he says.Here is a small example.Diga ape-wi translates as "a boy playing football", but saying so can only say that if he is seen . But Diga ape-hiyi - even if it is translated into Russian as well, but in the language of the speaker so Tuyuk say if it involves or is not exactly sure of the reliability of the information.Such termination in the language required.What if all of a sudden want to learn the language Tuyuk, always first think about what you learned from this or that information.
Hungarian
most difficult languages are replenished first European language - Hungarian.There are a couple of reasons.Firstly, it has 35 plagues that automatically sets the most difficult language in the list.In addition, the Hungarian is quite complex in the pronunciation, and the study of words will make string up even the most erudite.
Japanese
Last in our top.First, difficulties arise in the writing, because it differs from the pronunciation.Plus, there are 3 forms of letters.The system of "kanji" uses the Chinese characters, and the two native Japanese syllabic alphabet used for loanwords (Katakana) for writing and suffixes, and various grammatical particles (Hiragana).
"Languages leaders": the country's vehicles and statuses in other states
What language is most common?If we talk about the territorial supremacy of the carrier, the perfect leader to learn English (UK + dependent territories, Australia, USA, New Zealand, Canada, India, Pakistan, Iceland, Ireland, the majority of Oceania and Africa) and Spanish (Spain, Mexico,Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Cuba and all of South America except Brazil).
If we judge by the number of speakers (who consider their native language), the most common languages are Chinese (848 million people), Spanish (406 million people) and English (335 million people).Perhaps, for anybody not a secret that English is compulsory to study in many countries, including the Russian-speaking.However, this globalization of the English could not affect the language itself, because of what the world (except for countries where it is considered an official) is more common "wrong" with perekoverkannymi English words, wrong use of the time and the like.The most widely spoken language on earth (English) also occupies first position on web sites (approx. 56%) and the percentage contribution of the speakers in the GDP (approx. 29%).As for individual language learning, people often tend to the development of "beautiful" and milozvuchnogo language, which can be determined by looking at the results of many online surveys.These include Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese.As you can see, most of the leaders belong to the Romance group.The most common language in the world, English, not once get into the top 10 most beautiful because of its euphonious literary and mass popularization of music and movies.
