probably chinese because it hardly has any grammar at all.

certainly not, Latin has LOTS of rules and LOTS of exceptions to those rules. don't even mention english german and all the other european languages.

key word: "most"

Just because none of them are logical, doesn't mean some can be relatively logical

agricola is masculine even though you'd expect it to be feminine with -a as its ending etc.

Seconding this.
Also be aware, that no citizen or slave in the Roman Empire spoke Latin like they wrote it.
They spoke Vulgar Latin in the regional dialect, TONS of grammar dropped and different vocabulary.

Define "logical language".

Arabic is very logical, IMO.

Also, Japanese.

Please look up "grammar" in a dictionary. You'll find that "grammar" is the set of rules that dictate what words go where in a sentence, as well as what shape and form they should have. Consider the sentences "Alice sees Bob" and "Bob sees Alice"; grammar is how you know which sentence means what.

Chances are you're looking for words like "tense" (like "go/went/gone", "see/saw/seen"...), "case system" ("i/me/my/mine", "he/him/his...), or somesuch.

If you're thinking stuff like "noun genders", this is one of two main ways a language classifies nouns; the other is "classifier" (long story, check the Wiki).
Guess what, all languages use one or the other, English being the only exception I know of. Chinese (as well as Japanese) uses classifiers.

(Also, In My Oh-So-Humble Opinion, noun classifier systems are more logical than noun genders, even if it (initially) requires that you learn some more words at first).

Logical answer ;-)

It's Arabic. It's like a simpler version of Ithkuil/Iláksh.

Yeah, but when you compare it against irregular messes like Russian or even English, then it is relatively logical/regular.

Id say Korean if not for the myriad of spelling and pronunciation inconsistencies.

If by logical you mean it follows a certain logic strictly, then I'd say Turkish probably. If by that you mean it makes sense, that's a very tough question, IDK. Esperanto maybe?

LOL.
And sentence structure? :P

Personally i like it. makes more sense to me. maybe because of my background. which i guess is another thing to consider when when deciding which is the most logical language.

There is no Mexican language. They speak American Latin.

but if you mean among the natural languages, modern turkish (of course how "natural" it is, is completely debatable), for its pure regularity if not for anything else

you know you probably picked the worst programming language for that joke, right?

I'm gonna say Esperanto. I don't really know much about it, but a language that was made through conscious effort instead of being developed randomly for thousands of years surely must be more logical, right?

Name: Anonymous 2009-03-02 11:23

yeah but if you check >>30, you'll see that there is a much better choice if you add artificial languages in the mix.

Besides, Esperanto sucks as hard as natural languages when it comes to that. Zamenhof failed hard in that.

Arabic. Its root system lets you construct words in ways your feeble English minds cannot begin to fathom.

id agree that spoken Arabic is cool but the writing system is overwhelming. Everything looks the fucking same
