The easiest language to learn in the world

July 23, 2018 at 2:36 pm, No comments


Tarzan immediately needed a language. A human language. When he was found by humans, they failed to communicate with him because Tarzan lacked a human language. The humans started discussing which language to teach him. The language had to be very very easy to teach and to learn from an English speaker point of view as they were Englishmen. They invited about 6000 languages who had to present themselves, but at the end, only five languages remained. However, the Englishmen couldn’t make their decision yet.

Here is the first language’s introduction:

‘I am Language Kappa. I am a huge language being world's second-most spoken native language. I am an official language of three continents. I am a member of a very famous language family in Europe. I am a fusional language. My noun and adjective systems have two genders and two numbers. I use prepositions, my pronunciation is very easy. The ‘v’ consonant is pronounced as ‘b’.’

The second language:

‘My name is Language Mu. I am influenced by other languages like Arabic, English, French, German and Portuguese, so I can be a good choice for learning. I am spoken by 140 million people in East Africa. I can say that I am the lingua franca of the continent. I have only 5 vowels and 36 consonants. I don’t use verb conjugations, I use word roots and affixes to express verb tense and subjects.’

The third language:

‘I am Language Gamma. I am also a big language with about 125 million speakers worldwide. I belong to the same language family as Kappa, but I am easier because I have fewer verb forms than him. I am the most romantic language in the word and because of my Latin-based vocabulary, I share cognates with many languages.’

The fourth language comes to introduce herself:

‘My name is Language Iota. I am smaller than the former languages as I am spoken only by 22 million people, but my language is very easy for English-speakers as my sounds are very similar to English sounds. In addition, I belong to the same language family with English. I have many loan words from Romance languages.’

And the last one, the fifth language comes:

‘I am Language Omicron. I have two very close relatives with whom I can converse without any problems, but I am the easiest language between us. So, if you learn me, you will have gained three languages. I live in North-Europe. I also belong to the same language family as English. I have three genders, my nouns are inflected or declined in definiteness (indefinite/definite) and number (singular/plural).’

If you could decide, which language would you choose as the easiest among these five? Or do you have another candidate? Which languages are Kappa, Mu, Gamma, Iota and Omicron in reality?
