I'd say Chinese, simply because they've got a hanzi for every damn word.

You need to know 4000 unique symbols (and tell them apart!), to be able to read a newspaper for example. And a space is not a thing in Chinese. Yeaaahhh, that seems so inefficient. At least the Japanese added hiragana to phonetically spell the words.
Some school just started to teach Hanzi in junior high school, and yes you're right every hanzi character symbolizing different thing and has their own meaning, also when speaking don't forget the tone of when you speaking =), different tone will have different meaning even though the pinyin is same. Here's example

家 : Jiā => meaning Home

假 : jiǎ => meaning Fake

See on the pinyin above Jia at the 'a' character, there is a tone indicating how the word should be read with proper tone, and as you see the hanzi is more straight forward, different meaning always have different hanzi. But in reality, this is not really a big matter when comes to speaking, usually we will undrestand what you mean from your whole sentence(if you know what I mean). That is for official Chinese or you perhaps heard it for Mandarin.

Now that's why learning Japanese is like learning Ruby after you mastering Java or harder programming languange(this is just a comparison).  I need to say that Hanzi and Kanji writing system is really same, although I don't know how the development nowadays in Kanji, Hanzi and Kanji they have difference in pronounciation. My opinion is

Japanese has their original language before being introduced with Kanji. So, they may take the Kanji to express the meaning through writing but still pronounce it in their original way instead of Chinese sound. For example, 五 (five) can be pronounce as "itsu" or "go" in Japanese. "itsu" is Japanese original language while "go" derives from Chinese (in dialect like Taiwanese 五 is still pronounces "go").

@BoluBolu : Latin ? It's still taught ? Wow.
Oh I don't know, I just tried it for myself, :D , It is hard, especially the source to learn is not as good as other languange, and I'm not going to be a scientist so the with that.

Either Gaelic or Japanese. Gaelic, because of truly inexplicable phonics, and Japanese, because of the mind-boggling grammar.

Latin for me as well...Took two years of it in college and made it through with good grades but it was not easy.  The upside though is being a dead language there was no pressure on the speaking side of things, it was mostly translation focused which I found more interesting anyway!  I haven't used it in years though so I've lost most of it unfortunately.

What I liked about learning Latin is that so many current languages are based on it. It makes it easier to learn things like French, Spanish and Italian. Plus, my science teachers wanted us to learn it, as most scientific terms are derived from Latin and Greek.

Dutch, seriously.

I find English, German and even French easier than that. You could argue that it should be easiest because native language, but no. I am Limburgian.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
