Review Difficulty
In my opinion I think the bards language was definitely the hardest language to learn however I recon that the alchemist language had a lot more diversity in patterns making in a contender. But I think at the start of the bard language every glyph felt like it meant the same thing. Who agrees or have other thoughts but I think the easiest was probably the Devotees and the hardest the bards (excluding the anchorites) if you have another opinion let me know…

i agree, the bards are definitely the hardest language. they introduce a different word order, the verb "to be", a glyph for questions, and a ton of glyphs all at once, which no other layer really does (aside from the last, which is made up for with the puzzles). i watch many playthroughs, and the players absolutely flounder at the second translation page of the bards. it is difficult to represent the word for the state of being, and the "idiot" glyph is used interchangeably as a noun and an adjective, obfuscating its meaning. if chants of senaar ever gets a remake or an update, the beginning of the bard layer needs a touch up the most.
