In terms of spoken language: Arabic. Sounds terrible but it's writing system is absolutely gorgeous, more akin to a piece of art than a practical writing system (seemingly)but still.



In terms of writing: French. In general I have a strong dislike for romance languages with their various word forms and the fact that they always seem to be written backwards, but French takes the cake in this regard. Plus those silent letters are just so freaking stupid.



In terms of complexities and inconsistencies: English. It is an alphabetical system making use of only 26 characters despite the fact that they have 44 phonemes(American English). It has so many contradictions and unspoken rules an in general retardation inducing crap embedded in the whole thing. Unless you learned it as a child it can be a struggle to learn, hence why I support bilingual education. As a child I remember so many times where I would be told "Your only supposed to do this, except when you don't" . The weirdness is so horrible that I had an honest conversation a while back where I argued it may just be best for us to simply use a logographic writing system, are language has many of the characteristics that make said writing system work nicely(it is Analytical for one).
