That would be Icelandic, I think.

no, Icelandic is a North Germanic language as well. It is still very close to old Norse, the language spoken all over Scandinavia in the middle ages. It just did not develop much, while Swedish and Danish changed a lot.
Finnish is much harder to learn for us because it's related to Estonian and Hungarian. They have like 8 different casus... impossible to learn.

Yes, it belongs to Finno Ugric branch and being an agglutinative language, is very hard to learn especially due to many intra-word intercalations of different affixes that may occur by forming a plural form, for example, or a verbal tense.

yeah, over 5000 characters to memorize in chinese, and there's only a certain set of intonations and pronunciations, so there are quite a few characters that sound the same, but have completely different meanings, and sometimes the same character can have different pronunciations, depending on the context. chinese is really a context based language :X
