10 Interesting Facts about Basque

7. Basque is another candidate for the most complicated language

The British Foreign Office seems to think that Basque is the hardest language for native English speakers to learn. Of course, there really is no such thing as a hard language but their concern is somewhat understandable. Since Basque isn’t related to any other European language, it’s difficult (if not impossible) to find syntactical similarities which might make learning it easier. In addition, even if Basque is spoken in a relatively small region, there are still vast differences across the various dialects.
