Spoken language is easy. It comes naturally to us Homo Sapient Sapient.
It's alphabet and writing system which is harder.
Harder still is a unique alphabet not based on ancient predecessors and developed in prehistoric/medieval times independently from the neighbouring tribes.

Languages with Dedicated or Unique Alphabets/Scripts
• Armenian: Uses the 5th-century Armenian alphabet, designed with a distinct one-to-one sound-to-letter correspondence.
• Georgian: Uses the unique Mkhedruli alphabet (and older historical scripts) native to the Kartvelian language family.
• Greek: Uses the ancient Greek alphabet, which served as the structural ancestor for both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
• Korean: Uses Hangul, a scientifically engineered alphabet composed of letter blocks shaped to mimic the physical position of the mouth and tongue when making sounds.
• Amharic (Ethiopian): Uses the Ge'ez script, an abugida (syllabuary-alphabet hybrid) unique to the Horn of Africa.
• Cherokee: Uses an independent syllabary invented by Sequoyah in the early 1800s for the Cherokee language.
• Vai: Uses the Vai syllabary, independently developed in West Africa (Liberia/Sierra Leone) in the 1830s.
• N’Ko: A unique alphabet created in 1949 specifically for West African Manding languages

But let's face it, the final 3 were probably developed with the guiding hand of those damned 'white colonizers'.
