Doesn't Lithuanian have tonal components? That has to be worst then Polish.

Did you see all the Zs in there? They're obviously talking in their sleep.
Kinda weird to isolate Polish when Hungarian, Finnish and Basque are actually all their own distinct language families.
Polish actually isn't in a distinct language family and shares a lot with other western Slavic languages like Czech, and Slavic languages in general.
Yeah, my first thought was, isn't Hungarian far more complex/different. Also, Icelandic is meant to be very difficult to learn too!
Maybe it's because it was in the same language group as those others that polish got singled out. People who speak an Indo European language will expect to be lost when first trying to learn a language outside of the group, but might not expect to be so confuddled from a related language. Expectations basically.
Polish is a Slavic language written out using Latin letters.
Would be so much shorter with a щ
Me, a non European who only speaks english, so true
Haha yeah I get it.
I don't think you could get the speakers of all the European languages to agree on which one is normal.
Sure you can everyone in france know theirs is the only real language. Don't believe me? Just ask someone from france.
but we can all agree hungarian isn't
It has to be French right?

We used to have a server at my university which a polish guy set up. It received the name brzeczyszczykiewich. We decided that the server was secure enough by name, so we only put a trivial password on it for remote connection.
Are you sure it wasn't "brzeczyszczykiewicz" (difference in last two letters)? Otherwise it seems like a little typo, which, to be fair, would be a good idea to keep it safe from Polish people haha
I'm completely sure, like 100%, fully positive without a single doubt... that I misspelled it and I would never be able to access the server again.
Can we also get some translation or something. This might shock you, but not all of us are polish.
Whew. Good. I thought it was just me.
There is no translation, it's just a hard to pronounce Polish surname.
