Alphabetical, but with simple grammar. Also has a large population base.
English is, supposedly, one of the hardest languages to learn. The main difficulty with Chinese, I think, is the symbols. Making it pinyin helps with that (as well as helping typing).
Why restrict to European languages when Asia is going to be dominant in the next century?
That’s not a bad suggestion, as tonal languages are inherently more flexible than pitch-accent ones.
