The most efficient computer language, BAR NONE, is Forth.
That much is definitive. As far as human languages, that is very difficult to say. It would depend greatly on the metric used, the context of person speaking it, his culture, etc.
That which is more efficient for written language might not be so in spoken language, and vice versa. And are we talking most efficient to learn, or most efficient to use once learnt? Or some kind of sum or average of the two? And use in written or spoken form?) Efficient in its forms and rules? Its spelling and pronunciation? Its terseness?
At any rate, I don't know that a (human communication) language's "efficiency" is actually that important. Sure it needs a reasonable degree of efficiency--but isn't expressivity more important? Being able to express the concepts and ideas you want/need to express, the emotions and feelings you want/need to express, and get across to another human being just what's going on in your head. At least so it seems to me.

Even though English isn't my first language I like it better since it has more words.

hasta que estamos de acuerdo en algo puto gachupa de mierda
Actually, I care! who ever wins I will believe and never change my mind, ever, due to the fact that whoever gets the last word in or gets the most worked up or YELLS the most is clearly superior in their thinking and experience to be unequivocally correct.

Sí, lástima que haya miles de español desperdigados por todo el mundo y que los hispanohablantes nos llevemos tan mal. Íbamos a conquistar el mundo de otro modo.
This is a moronic question. No language is more logical or useful than any other, and therefore surely not any more or less efficient than any other. Each takes on the vocabulary it needs. One language may not have terminology for something, but it would not be difficult to develop it if the need arose. As for grammar, what seems logical to us will have everything to do with what we grew up with and what we know. Therefore, that's not much of a measure for how efficient or logical something is or isn't. Seriously, basic linguistics should be taught in schools. People believe so much shit about language.

I loled at the guy that said that english is basically a french dialect..... the grammar (which is basically the structure of a language) has nothing to do with french.. some words came from french, yea, but it still very unrelated.
Im from brazil, we speak portuguese here (brazilian portuguese actually), and a considerable ammount of words in this language came from ARABIC!! same with spanish.. but both language are latin languages and they have nothing to do with arabic
More than just some words. Wikipedia says it ranges from 28% to 41%.

English is actually a very efficient language, because it doesn't have any complicated declension, conjugation, grammatical cases, dual number and all those baroque featues. That makes it also suitable for machine processing.

German took the most deprecated portions of Latin and the Germanic languages. Any language that still has engendered nouns is immediately out of the running. And anything with more than two cases/declinations. While I have only studied Modern English, Old English, German, Frisian, and Spanish, I wouldn't be one to choose the most efficient. Out of those choices, however, it would have to be Modern English. Two cases, no engendered nouns, then again we have over 9000 tenses.
Perhaps Dutch or Afrikaans?

Russian is pretty efficient, despite a diabolically complicated grammar. Few words are wasted.
