I think like Chinese and Korean because of how they are written. Just probably takes forever to write an essay by hand in those languages I think. Each letter probably takes 5+ seconds just to write it.
I mean it is fancy and I like it but too complex for me xD
How about the languages for you that seem hard to learn in full?

I very much agree with Polaris. As a native Indonesian speaker, I am able to understand the linguistics and grammar of Mandarin much more easily compared to those of English. Conversely, Chinese characters tend to be rather difficult to memorize for me whereas the Indonesian language's usage of the Latin alphabet allows me to catch up with English more quickly.

I’ve attempted to learn Spanish, German, Russian, and Greek. Russian was probably the hardest for me, I couldn’t pronounce some of the words and had a hard time getting used to the Cyrillic. Greek was difficult as well. German almost came naturally and Spanish is pretty easy as well.

I'd say some North American Native American languages, like Cherokee or Iroquois. I think they are polysynthetic languages. Which means that they construct sentences out of one word that is compounded.

Assembler is the computer language at the core of other computer languages. Computer languages are more difficult than human languages generally because computers require every little detail to be perfect. They do not forgive even the tiniest typo or spelling error.

According to me, it is finno-uralic languages, which are very difficult. And, even the original germanic language, without any latin influence. then, there is one language in india, known as malayalam ,which is very hard to comprehend, forget speaking en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayalam

I can say with confidence that the most difficult languages to study are Asian. I personally studied Chinese. Yes, I used the modern aggregator of language courses, we talked by Skype , there were different conferences, my teacher is a native speaker of the Chinese language, but all the same it took me about six months to begin to understand and speak worthily. And I will continue to study. But it is purely for myself.

To me, all the East Asian languages, but especially Chinese. I really can't think of learning how to write (as it's a totally different concept to what we're used to) and there's also the different tones in pronunciation.

any non-popular/rare language with some difficult elements, doesn't matter which exactly: alphabet, prononsuation or garammatic.
