I personally see European languages as the most difficult because of the stress on gender and all of the languages with multiple words that mean 'the' that are non-interchangeable. Now, African languages like Talingya (An Eritrean language, and the only African language I know off of the top of my head. Afrikaans does not count!) are more difficult just thanks to the sheer lack of exposure to them, as well as an annoying stress on gender. I hate languages where gender affects how things are phrased- it makes creating genderless characters in stories a living hell.
