What is the hardest sign language to learn?

***Jolie77*** · 09-17-2008, 09:54 PM

Sign Languages around the world appears to have similar grammatical, morphological, semantic and discursive structures.

Whether one such language will be more difficult than another for a signer to relate to his, her, or its familiarity with the culture and language of a given deaf community which are embedded.

Although, I am curious to see (based on your experience) which sign language is the hardest to learn?

I, myself, am proficient in ASL. I also have some knowledge in BSL but am also interested in seeing other various sign languages around the globe.
