man i really dont want to mess with u...
BUT
just few fact...
hungarian have no any similar language whatsoever...
just have a look on the map. None of your neighbour contry has any similar to us, but for example russian, polich, slovakian are very similar. (my wife from slovakia so i know this from first hand, she could easily understand yours, russian mostly, but not exactly)
Our grammar is VERY difficult, to be honest with you, i dont even heard of any1 who actually learned our language, more than hello, or basic sentences.
Few letter with is extra from english ABC:
á é ö ő ü ű ú cs ty gy sz zs dz dzs ly ny, actually ABC has 44 letters in ours.
my point is:
not saying is harder like yours or japanese or whatever, but pretty sure its in top 3 overall and must say english easier to write correctly and pronounce it then hungarian... i feel this a bit offensive...
as you know i am learning polish, and as my polish workers said my language skill is very good, bcause hungarian is very hard, so i get use to it and after 2-3 repeat i am saying good the polish words.
In fact i learned russian for a few years so it makes easier as well. Still grammarwise dunno, have not too much time for that part. Rather stick with all the bad sentences...
well y high position of english also surprised me, its basically one of the easiest languages nowadays (the easiest but esperanto maybe?)
somewhere i read that polish was in top 3, just after chinese and finnish
