That sounds like a proper language! A pity it has so little relationship to most others. I'd say German was logical (more so than English, which is more of a Latin-Germanic hybrid) but over-complicated with genders, adjective declensions etc. (very like Latin). German pronunciation is one of the easiest parts, I think - the rules are much simpler than for English.
