What is the easiest language to learn in absolute terms, regardless of relation to another language and relative simplicity. I'd have to go with Turkish.
Easiest language in absolute terms?
There is no answer to that question because everybody will find easier those languages related to the one he speaks natively. Only a machine with human-like intelligence could answer that question.
American English. Also because the USA are no real melting pot, but a sum of several communities living next to each other. This makes Americans to not care how you treat their language (which was initially vehicular and second language for everyone not long ago). The entry level is high which makes the step into mastering it a more pleasant step to take indeed.
That, and the fact that it's the most important language and you cannot live one day without hearing it at least once.

Language with less cohesion are easier to learn, because the margin of making 'mistakes' people are willing to accept of you is wider, not making them mistakes anymore. Heavily standardized languages are whole different in that regard. You can still speak a structured variant of them anyway and link it to your own community.
I think spanish,specifically from argentina that is more italian,the easiest language for someone achieve fluency.
Everybody always knows what letters the guy is speaking.When you learn what these joined letters means,you master spanish.

Dog HAS SHOWN us another EASY THING ABOUT English. Everyone can write WRONGLY, and THERE HARDLY ARISES any ambiguity or difficulty in communication. English is so easy that ... (I didn't understand what you meant here... so much for no difficulties in communication!)
I can write Spanish wrongly too and you'd still understand.
Puedo escribir español mal también y tú endendes. Pero hablas de masterar una idioma, y para masterar una idioma es necesario no hacer NINGUNOS erroraciones. No se puede hablar de la facilitez de una idioma si no puedes escribar diez paginas sin NINGUN ERRORACION! Los angloparlants nos acostumbrado hemos a los erroraciones de los no nativos, pero eso no significar que entendemos todo, simplimente tenemos que guessear. En fin, puedo decir que lo que acabado de escribar es masteración del español?

Languages evolve, but often not willingly by the elites. It's also how they disintegrate. I encourage making neologisms or new expression anytime. Using 'rester sous son clocher' for instance, is Belgian French which I have read on some a francophone Belgian forum (by someone who has read on his turn on a Flemish forum 'onder zijn kerktoren blijven steken', an idiom mainly used in Flanders). Why not use it, even when a newly formed idiom used by few?
