The point is that everyone say that about their own language, I've encountered French, Dutch and Hungarian proclaiming their language is the hardest.

It's not properly hard until the verb system has all the necessities to fluently express every time-travel scenario. Also known as HG-hard. Most languages can only describe time-travel scenarios using related concepts - this is called HG-complete.
