What’s the most efficient language? And how do we even define efficiency—speed, brevity, clarity? Imagine an experiment: three groups of three people, each group with native speakers of a different language. The task? Complete a challenge, either using the fewest words or finishing the fastest. Would a language with shorter words win? Or one that packs more meaning into fewer syllables? Maybe efficiency isn’t just about language but how we communicate as humans. Culture, context, and even body language could tip the scales. It’s a fascinating question with endless variables—and one that might not have a definitive answer.
