Which Language Is Best At Getting Straight To The Point?

Few language are sweet, others are bit complex to speak. Few need more pauses
Linguists from the University of Lyon in France looked at seven widely spoken languages to see how they rank in terms of efficiency.

Top 4 languages were:
English,
Chinese
German
Japanese

All researchers found that no matter how slow a language is, the complexity of syllables means that information is imparted as quickly as it is in faster languages. Thus, for example, a slow and very complex language like German manages to rate as slightly more efficient than fast-paced Japanese. And it comes in third after English, which garnered first place, and Chinese, which came in second.
