>>11196706US and British Empire having a huge cultural, militaristic and technological influence played a big part in it becoming de-facto universal language, but if English was as hard as Finnish for example, I imagine there would be much bigger push for Esperanto or similar artificial language by everyone else.
compared to pretty much all other languages:
>no special letters whatsoeveranyone can write english using the basic latin, but try writting Ö ? O ? ? on a basic keyboard
>no gramatical casesI have trouble coming up with a way to describe it in English because there is no such thing.
Changing word based on context in a sentence and it's rather complicated and usually essential to get some sense out of it.
>no grammatical gender or cases unless you are talking about a persona lot of languages are very arbitrary and call chair "her", table "him" and child "it", meaning if you learn a new word, you have yet another thing to remember
>declension is only adding " 's" (for the most part)most languages need several pages worth of tables just to lay out the basic rules
>no tonal meaning changeallows very imprecise pronunciation
