I think Mongolian. I'm Japanese and it's pretty easy to remember how to speak. My friends Korean and I think I've caught up with her.

I think Mongolian too!

japanese because of all the kanji (shudder)

Mongolian is harder, I had a Mongolian class twice every week, I had troubles learning so i went to this web site and it helped me learn a lot better it is called

Japanese

I would probablly agree with you.

ALL!

First of all, the difficulty of learning a language depends a lot on what language you're starting with. For English-speakers, for example, it now comes down to individuals. Next, Chinese is not a language but an umbrella of mutually unintelligible dialects. Some would say that Cantonese is more difficult to learn than Mandarin because there are twice as many tones. Others may say Mandarin is more difficult to learn because the pronunciation is quite difficult.

Now, to correct a few things from other people who have answered your question.

Japanese is difficult because of kanji, that's true. However Chinese has more Chinese characters (kanji) than Japanese, however Japanese also has two alphabets which are used at the same time, occaionally even in one word. The word for eraser in Japanese 消しゴム (keshigomu) has one kanji, one hiragana character and two from the other alphabet, katakana.

Mongolian has its own alphabet which is still used by Mongolian-speakers in China, but Mongolia switched to the Cyrillic alphabet in 1941 with two additional vowels.

Korean (Hangul) has 10 vowels and 14 consonants, and words are written with spaces between them, which makes it easier than Japanese and Chinese, but the words are written in groups, rather than in a straight line. Sometimes individual words are written vertically, sometimes horizontally. This odd concept makes reading Korean very difficult. Reading Chinese requires learning a few thousand individual characters. Japanese, as I mentioned above has fewer Chinese characters (kanji) but there are two alphabets and words all blend together.

According to one person, Korean and Japanese have similar grammar and pronunciation. It's true that the grammar is very similar, but the pronunciation is quite different. I believe this to be true, and having discussed this with many Korean and Japanese people with me, I'm confident with my answer. For example, Japanese people have a very difficult time remembering Korean peoples' names because the pronunciation is difficult.

So, for an English-speaker, they are all difficult, no matter what anyone claims. Whichever is the most difficult depends on what is difficult for the learner.

I have learned all three languages and I think Mongolian is the hardest. Vowel harmony is difficult to get to grips with.

i think mongolian, cuz not that many people speak it. japanese is pretty easy

Mongolian, because I am Korean and Korean is not hard to learn. Japanese is not that bad.

Japanese and Korean are similar, both grammar and pronunciation. I have learned them both. Mongolian has very strange accent! I have met a few Mongolian people and it took me a long time to learn to say "hello" and "goodbye" in Mongolian!

prolly mongolian because you'll encounter fewer native speakers who can step in to correct you if you make a verbal mistake

It's all personal but according to the Advanced Institute for the Study of Language it is Japanese.

I have heard mongolian

I would think Japanese or Mongolian are harder. Korean is a relatively simple language. They have 26 letters in the alphabet composed of consonants and vowels. I believe, although do not know for sure, the other two languages can have hundreds, if not thousands of individual letters.

There are several good websites that can help you get started learning Korean. I may be biased though, my wife is Korean and I'm starting to learn the language.
