Re: What are the densest languages, least dense you've studied?
I get the feeling for me the density is exact opposite of what has been discussed here. Languages with lots of words aren't dense for me, on the contrary, they're very spread out. For me dense would be overloading words or phrases with meanings so that each bears several and you'd have to be very aware of the context in order to apply correct meaning. In that sense Mandarin or Japanese is denser than English.
