Yes, and it would be 17 words or so if the we hadn't had this idea of running words together.
This idea (which seems hard for even native Swedes to grasp) can make for comical situations, take this short excerpt from a personal ad for example:
Brun hårig sjuk sjöterska
In English:
Brown hairy sick nurse
... probably not the intended meaning if she's trying to attract potential mates, let's correct the two erratic spaces:
Brunhårig sjuksjöterska
English:
Brown-haired nurse
... I do believe that description of herself sounds much more attractive.
Or from the grocery store:
fryst kyckling lever - frozen chicken lives
fryst kycklinglever - frozen chicken liver
Guess which spelling I see most often.
These are just a couple often-used examples off the top of my head. Most don't have two different meanings when written as one word and separated but instead don't mean anything at all when written separately (like the insanely long one above, if not written as one word it would be 17 random words that doesn't have anything to do with each other and any sentence structure and meaning would be completely gone) .
That said, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen that word in any situation other than ones specifically mentioning long words (but then, I don't normally work with information regarding the Swedish military).

bump ;)

I thought most of the arab based languages would have been the hardest to learn actually...

I can't find the link, but I read fairly recently that according to the US Secretary of State (or something like that), the hardest language to learn or master (for English speakers obviously) is Japanese. I always thought that Chinese was more complicated than Japanese because there is more signs and the pronunciation seems difficult, but in fact the grammar in Japanese is much more difficult, and it is overall more complex.

Georgian or Armenian

Dear Friends

Have you every tried to speak with 1.5-2.5 years old kid with his own language? :)
Ehehehehehehehehehe... :)

Pict language..and southeastern europe.i dont know about asia

German was a snap to learn, French a little trickier, and Korean was the toughest, though not really difficult. A DLAB score of 145 probably helped in that regard.

Grunt thats whats hard to master =D

I think Linear A and C is also in this boat (I think it was Linear B that was finally cracked using frequency analysis).

Thai, maybe? According to a Thai friend, tones are very important, and there is a nursery rhyme (I think, it's been a while) that was all tonal variations on one, uh, letter?

More people speak that than Sumerian.

Български- bulgarian. :)
