I meant that if you know Hebrew, Arabic, or Hindu, learning the Latin alphabet is a lot easier than learning Chinese characters. And Latin user will probably find Arabic easier than Chinese too, even though the Latin alphabet is a bit simpler than Arabic.
- oblio 6y agoI guess it depends on which Latin alphabet variation. Vietnamese or Polish speakers will probably not feel intimidated by Arabic :-p
- cratermoon 6y agoIt also depends a lot on the language. There are dozens of languages that use the same core Latin characters plus a few decorators. Someone coming from a strongly inflected, gendered language trying to learn English is going to struggle compared to trying to learn Spanish or French.
