percieved "learning difficulty" by adults is irrelevant, jap is reputed to be hard but it was a breeze for me as I speak an azn trash language myself.
A real measure of these could be a comparison of how late kids gather decent speech capabilities. I heard Arabic failed in that, but it could be something related to writing and not speaking too, I can't remember for sure now.

Simple grammar and simple pronounciation rules.
I don't know what makes you think Japanese is hard.

Icelandic is regarded as the most difficult language to learn by most language experts, followed closely by Finnish. I think I'll go with that, having looked into both languages a bit.

That's why I said reputed to be, it was far easier than learning German for me.

The only thing hard about Icelandic is preaspiration. And that's a fucking breeze.
