Danish is pretty interesting, because it is so unpronounceable that Danish babies actually learn how to speak slower than all other kids.
Normally people put on their "baby speak" when talking to small kids - clearly separate words and slightly higher pitch - and this actually makes it easier for them to learn the language. (Clearly separate words makes it possible for them to tell what sounds belong together, and the higher pitch is easier for their ears to hear.)
Danes, however, can't do those tricks and still speak Danish
