Arabic is the official language of around 26 countries, making it the 3^rd most common language after English and French. It has strict grammar which is divided into 5 vast and traditional areas of study―al-luga, i.e., lexicon, at-tasrif, i.e., morphology, an-nahw, i.e., syntax, al-istiqaq, i.e., derivation, and al-balaga, i.e., rhetoric. The order of the sentence varies as well, in which the verb is placed before the subject, while the adjective follows the noun. The language has two verbal voices: passive and active. Though both are spelled in the same way, conversations are carried on in passive voice; however, this is not in writing. The inflection of words is influenced by the tone, which changes the meaning of words. Furthermore, there are 12 forms of personal pronouns, which denote feminine or masculine speakers, singular, dual, plural, modern Arabic, formal Arabic, etc., while written Arabic has fewer vowels that make it difficult to learn.

Unlike any of the other languages, the meaning of Chinese words changes as per the tone of the word, making it a tonal language. Thousands of characters further complicate the writing system. To make the language even more complicated, it has around 50,000 characters, of which you are required to know around 2,000 only to read the newspaper. This language is further split into two main subcategories, Cantonese and Mandarin. Cantonese is an incredibly popular Sino-Tibetan language. The placement of words in a Cantonese Chinese sentence can vary to the extremes, which becomes extremely difficult for students to speak to the natives. While the sentence has subject-verb object, prominence is given to the subject or object that needs more prominence in the sentence. The words, however, often do not have a gender, time, number, etc. But words, viz., markers, particles, and adverbs are used to give the context a definitive form. Cantonese Chinese varies from Mandarin in many ways, where the subject follows the object, making the sentence indirect. Mandarin language thrives on politeness. You will hear people referring to each other as aunt or uncle, and you too would be expected to do the same. It is a sign of respect to be considered as a part of their family. Mandarin does not use tenses or time. However, it gives prominence to topics or the subject matter in the sentence. A combination of markers marks single syllables and changes the entire meaning of the sentence. The entire meaning of the sentence can be changed by the change in a single syllable.
