Fun and very interesting lists about slang, vocabulary, language, spelling, and even punctuation.

What is the easiest language to learn? It really depends on your native tongue. What might be fairly easy for a native English speaker might be far more challenging to someone <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/countries-where-arabic-is-the-official-language/best-world-journeys?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">who speaks Arabic</a> as a native language, for instance. That being said, there are several languages that are easier than others to pick up, for <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/misunderstood-celebrity-scandals/donn-saylor?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">pretty much everyone</a>. This list includes a wide variety of different languages, so be sure to vote for those you think are the easiest/quickest to learn, and vote down any languages you've struggled to pick up. And, if you don't see a language you find easy to learn listed, by all means, add it.Learning a new language can be an invaluable skill. Being bilingual can help you with your studies, and it could even help you land that dream job. In terms of the easiest languages to learn for native English speakers, the so-called &quot;romance languages&quot; aren't overly difficult to pick up with some study. The romance languages include Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian. These are among the most commonly spoken, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-language-to-learn/jennifer-lee" target="_blank">best languages to learn</a>, particularly Spanish and Portuguese. Other major languages which might be fairly easy to learn include German, Dutch and Swedish. Languages like Russian might be slightly more difficult, not just to learn, but to speak. Some languages which might be even more difficult to learn include Arabic, Japanese, Chines (which has several variations), Vietnamese and Indonesian. Again, though, it all depends on your native tongue. Learning a new language is always challenging, but it's extremely rewarding, too. Were you able to learn a new language fairly easily? If so, please vote and feel free to share your experiences in the comments.

Language

List of the best language to learn, ranked by those in the know. Taking on the task of learning a foreign language can be daunting, but some of the most common languages might be easier to learn than others. Have you wondered, "Which language should I learn?" This list can help you determine the most useful language to learn. Which one do you think is the most useful/helpful? Be sure to vote for your favorites, and add any languages to the list that you believe would be great to learn, too.Vote: <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-honeymoon-destinations">The Best Honeymoon Destinations</a>If you've ever wanted to learn a second language, consider trying to learn one of the more popular ones first. What foreign language should I learn? Want to speak the language of love? Time to learn French! Spanish can be extremely useful, as can Japanese (though the latter is decidedly more difficult to learn to speak and/or write). Whether using the best language learning software or a language immersion course, learning some languages can be more challenging than others. Arabic, for example, might be more challenging for a native English-speaker than, say, Italian, but it's also among the more popular studied foreign languages worldwide. And while Mandarin Chinese might seem really difficult to learn, it's spoken by more people across the world than any other language.

Some employers desperately need bilingual employees. Studying a foreign language can really pay off in the long run. Knowing more than one foreign language can also be extremely useful!

What are some of the most overused, mispronounced words people use to try to sound smarter? There are plenty of pretentious vocabulary words people frequently mispronounce. The English language is a mash-up of so many different languages and influences that it can be hard to keep up with new additions, but some words are just so impossible it seems like they're trying to screw you up on purpose. Below are some of the worst examples of pretentious, unpronounceable words people use to try to sound cool.

What's an eggcorn and why would an eggcorn database or eggcorn list exist at all? Well, the English language is tricky and full of words and phrases that are easily mispronounced or misspelled. Heck, just about any language is tricky and full of nuance. There's a great video of Stephen Fry talking about language being an evolving thing, and that more pedantic folks shouldn't be so hard up to correct people. Many agree, but this list of eggcorns is something fun to think about!Okay, so what is an eggcorn? I's a phrase or a word that, through misspelling, mispronunciation, or a simple misunderstanding of its meaning, has been changed to an incorrect phrase. In fact, the word eggcorn is itself an eggcorn: the linguist who coined the term chose that word after speaking with someone who said &quot;eggcorn&quot; instead of &quot;acorn.&quot;&nbsp;So, we thought it'd be fun for linguaphiles to look at and rank the trickiest and most confusing eggcorns that sometimes trip up even the most avid grammar and language lovers. Some of these mistakes are just straight up wrong and get the meaning mixed up. Some are honest mistakes that most people rarely challenge. Some, interestingly, are phrases that, when you really think about it, still hold the spirit of the original meaning. 'The point is, this is all in good fun. Haters to the left! Let's enjoy the linguistic mistakes, poetry, and nightmares of eggcorns together.

Some words just really gross us out! They make us cringe and turn away. It's that nails-on-a-chalkboard kind of feeling. Maybe because they're the name of something we don't like, as is likely the case with &quot;pus.&quot; Gross! Others just don't feel okay to say. Milky? Come on! I'm squirming right now!&nbsp;Word aversions are similar to phobias. We hear certain words and just have a visceral response to them, an annoyance or nauseous feeling. Luckily this happens in reverse, too! So words like love and beautiful, make us feel happy and all warm inside. But this list isn't about being fuzzy and cuddly - it's about being GROSSED OUT! &nbsp; &nbsp;Look this list over, but be prepared to feel disgusted, queasy, revolted, and repelled. Like a car accident you slowly drive by on the freeway or a slasher film you can't pull your eyes away from - this list will have you squeamish, abhorred and simply grossed out! Vote up the grossest, most disgusting sounding words below.

History

A popular rallying cry of radio spindoctors and nativist pundits alike is that this is America, and people should just &quot;speak English.&quot; OK, but here's the thing: there are actually a lot of languages you're speaking when you speak English. Because that's how language works. It changes over time, picks up words from different languages, and is usually a crazy amalgamation of history.&nbsp;When it comes to English, because its influences are so disparate, it is difficult to determine exactly what languages influenced English the most. Even most native speakers have little awareness of the languages they're&nbsp;speaking when they speak English. Through conquest, assimilation, and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/things-americans-love-that-were-invented-by-immigrants/amandasedlakhevener">immigration</a>, English has evolved over many centuries into a pastiche of vocabulary representing many different cultures. From the earliest Viking invasion to the most recent wave of immigration, the English language has continued to evolve, reflecting the languages that you have no idea you are speaking when you speak English.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Not to sound like a stoner stereotype, but all languages are strange to people that can’t speak them, right? A study ranking the most unusual languages using strict linguistic guidelines reveals that even so-called “normal” languages such as German or English are <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130809075053/http:/idibon.com/the-weirdest-languages/">actually pretty unusual</a>, relatively speaking. English, in fact, ranked #33 on that list of most unusual languages -&nbsp;out of more than 2,500. If you’re talking about unique or rare linguistic properties, plenty of major languages are pretty strange.That said, some of the so-called “weirdest languages in the world” are weird for other reasons besides just being unlike the others.&nbsp;Say what you will about German, but at least you can ask a yes/no question using it, unlike in the Chalcatongo Mixtec language. Sure, English is crazy, but at least you can reference where you are in space without knowing which way is north at all times, unlike in the Guugu Yimithirr language. Read on for more examples of some of the truly strangest languages used on planet Earth.

You often hear kids say,&nbsp;&quot;sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.&quot; The entries on this list suggest otherwise. This list is full of forbidden words and phrases throughout history that can allegedly&nbsp;cause harm if they&#39;re spoken out loud (or, in some cases, even if they&#39;re written down).

These supposedly dangerous words&nbsp;and names come from&nbsp;different&nbsp;religions, mythologies,&nbsp;rituals, and superstitions from all across the globe.&nbsp;Some, like the fear of &quot;summoning&quot; bears, actually had a long-term impact&nbsp;on the English&nbsp;language. Others, like the theatrical prohibitions against&nbsp;saying &quot;Macbeth&quot; or &quot;Good luck,&quot; are just pure superstition. The religious word and name&nbsp;taboos, while odd to non-believers, are taken very seriously by practitioners.

As such, you might want to read this list of forbidden words silently and not aloud...

Looking back, slang from the 90s involved giving people a lot of attitude and tricking them. (Sike!)

A lot of top 90s slang words like &quot;Whatever!&quot; and &quot;Cut. It. Out&quot; trickled down from movies and TV shows (hello, Clueless and Full House).Some 90s jargon came directly from songs that were popular at the time, like &quot;Scrubs&quot; and &quot;Whoomp, There It Is.&quot; Read this list to reacquaint yourself with popular 90s slang words and vote on your favorites.

They say dialogue is hard to write – so why not just reuse as many&nbsp;corny movie quotes as possible? There are a lot of common movie dialogue tropes that find their way into countless films, despite the fact that no one ever says things like that.&nbsp;You can probably think of a dozen silly movie lines off the top of your head, maybe even more than <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-movie-quotes-of-all-time" target="_blank">great movie quotes</a>.In pretty much every action movie ever, for example, someone has yelled, &quot;We've got company!&quot; Sports movies inevitably include a taunt like, &quot;Is that all you've got?&quot; A lot of these reused lines depend on genre, of course, and each genre has its own tired&nbsp;tropes&nbsp;and trends independent of dialogue, but recycled crap dialogue is the most blatant form of screenwriting laziness, and it's rampant in Hollywood.Here are a bunch of&nbsp;weird things people say in movies that pretty much no one says in real life.

What is the hardest language to learn? It depends, but there are several foreign languages that can be extremely difficult to master. They include several of the Asian languages (particularly Mandarin), and some of the slavic languages as well. This list includes some of the most difficult foreign languages to learn, so be sure to vote for those that you think would be the most challenging -- and vote down the languages that you don't believe are truly that difficult to grasp. Also, if any foreign language that you think is particularly tough to master is missing, add it!What makes learning a specific language difficult? Some of the factors that make a foreign language tough to learn include how hard it is to speak and pronounce (correctly) and how hard it is to write. Word cases are important, too: Some languages have dozens of different word cases, making it almost impossible to keep track. And keep in mind, what comes easy to some might be extremely tough for others. Learning English as a second language can be very, very hard, depending on your native tongue.If you're thinking about learning your first foreign language, you might consider checking out this list of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/easiest-language-to-learn/jennifer-lee" target="_blank">easiest languages to learn</a>.

Chinese language

Chinese is a group of related but in many cases mutually unintelligible language varieties, forming a branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Chinese is spoken by the Han majority and many other ethnic groups in China. Nearly 1.2 billion people speak some form of Chinese as their first language.
The varieties of Chinese are usually described by native speakers as dialects of a single Chinese language, but linguists note that they are as diverse as a language family. The internal diversity of Chinese has been likened to that of the Romance languages, but may be even more varied. There are between 7 and 13 main regional groups of Chinese, of which the most spoken by far is Mandarin, followed by Wu, Yue and Min. Most of these groups are mutually unintelligible, although some, like Xiang and the Southwest Mandarin dialects, may share common terms and some degree of intelligibility. All varieties of Chinese are tonal and analytic.
Standard Chinese is a standardized form of spoken Chinese based on the Beijing dialect of Mandarin. It is the official language of China and Taiwan, as well as one of four official languages of Singapore.

Arabic Language

Arabic is the Classical Arabic language of the 6th century and its modern descendants excluding Maltese. Arabic is spoken in a wide arc stretching across the Middle East, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. Arabic belongs to the Afro-Asiatic family.
The literary language, called Modern Standard Arabic or Literary Arabic, is the only official form of Arabic. It is used in most written documents as well as in formal spoken occasions, such as lectures and news broadcasts.
Arabic is a Central Semitic language, closely related to Aramaic, Hebrew, Ugaritic and Phoenician. The standardized written Arabic is distinct from and more conservative than all of the spoken varieties, and the two exist in a state known as diglossia, used side-by-side for different societal functions.
Some of the spoken varieties are mutually unintelligible, both written and orally, and the varieties as a whole constitute a sociolinguistic language. This means that on purely linguistic grounds they would likely be considered to constitute more than one language, but are commonly grouped together as a single language for political and/or religious reasons.

Japanese Language

Japanese is an East Asian language spoken by about 125 million speakers, primarily in Japan, where it is the national language. It is a member of the Japonic language family, whose relation to other language groups, particularly to Korean and the suggested Altaic language family, is debated.
Little is known of the language's prehistory, or when it first appeared in Japan. Chinese documents from the 3rd century recorded a few Japanese words, but substantial texts did not appear until the 8th century. During the Heian period, Chinese had a considerable influence on the vocabulary and phonology of Old Japanese. Late Middle Japanese saw changes in features that brought it closer to the modern language, as well as the first appearance of European loanwords. The standard dialect moved from the Kansai region to the Edo region in the Early Modern Japanese period. Following the end in 1853 of Japan's self-imposed isolation, the flow of loanwords from European languages increased significantly. English loanwords in particular have become frequent, and Japanese words from English roots have proliferated.

Sanskrit Language

Sanskrit is the primary liturgical language of Hinduism, a philosophical language in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and a literary language that was in use as a lingua franca in the Indian cultural zone. It is a standardised dialect of Old Indo-Aryan language, originating as Vedic Sanskrit and tracing its linguistic ancestry back to Proto-Indo-Iranian and Proto-Indo-European. Today it is listed as one of the 22 scheduled languages of India and is an official language of the state of Uttarakhand. Sanskrit holds a prominent position in Indo-European studies.
The corpus of Sanskrit literature encompasses a rich tradition of poetry and drama as well as scientific, technical, philosophical and dharma texts. Sanskrit continues to be widely used as a ceremonial language in Hindu religious rituals and Buddhist practice in the forms of hymns and mantras. Spoken Sanskrit has been revived in some villages with traditional institutions, and there are attempts at further popularisation.

Vietnamese Language

Vietnamese is the national and official language of Vietnam. It is the native language of the Vietnamese people, as well as a first or second language for many ethnic minorities of Vietnam. As the result of Vietnamese immigration and cultural influence, Vietnamese speakers are found throughout the world, notably in East and Southeast Asia, North America, Australia and Western Europe.
It is part of the Austroasiatic language family of which it has by far the most speakers. Vietnamese vocabulary has borrowings from Chinese, and it formerly used a modified set of Chinese characters called chữ nôm given vernacular pronunciation. The Vietnamese alphabet in use today is a Latin alphabet with additional diacritics for tones, and certain letters.

Russian Language

Russian is an East Slavic language and an official language in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. It is an unofficial but widely spoken language in Ukraine, Moldova, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and to a lesser extent, the other countries that were once constituent republics of the Soviet Union and former participants of the Eastern Bloc. Russian belongs to the family of Indo-European languages and is one of the three living members of the East Slavic languages. Written examples of Old East Slavonic are attested from the 10th century onwards.
It is the most geographically widespread language of Eurasia and the most widely spoken of the Slavic languages. It is also the largest native language in Europe, with 144 million native speakers in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Russian is the eighth most spoken language in the world by number of native speakers and the seventh by total number of speakers. The language is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
Russian distinguishes between consonant phonemes with palatal secondary articulation and those without, the so-called soft and hard sounds.

Thai food

Thai cuisine is the national cuisine of Thailand. Balance, detail and variety are of paramount significance to Thai chefs. In his book The Principles of Thai Cookery, renowned celebrity chef, writer and authority on Thai cuisine McDang wrote:
"What is Thai food? Every country in the world has its own food profile. It reflects its culture, environment, ingenuity and values. In the case of Thailand, these words come to mind: intricacy; attention to detail; texture; color; taste; and the use of ingredients with medicinal benefits, as well as good flavor.
Thai cooking places emphasis on lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components and a spicy edge. It is known for its complex interplay of at least three and up to four or five fundamental taste senses in each dish or the overall meal: sour, sweet, salty, bitter and spicy. Australian chef David Thompson, a prolific chef and expert on Thai food, observed that unlike many other cuisines:
"Thai food ain't about simplicity. It's about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish. Like a complex musical chord it's got to have a smooth surface but it doesn't matter what's happening underneath.
