Chinese is teh hard.

Aside from being tonal, using an ideograph system rather than an alphabet, and having almost no cognates with English, it does have the advantage of not having gendered nouns, or much in the way of verb tenses, or subject-verb agreement (same verb, no matter if you’re talking wo, ni, or ta —or women, nimen, or tamen, for that matter).
