    Actually it even shouldn't be called by fusional terminology.

    Also Finnish has 15 cases. Out of 261 languages classified for the number of cases at WALS, only 24 have 10 or more cases
    As above. But when aglutinative languages started to being researched they haven't nothing better, so used this what they knew - latin fusional based terminology.

    And the map is obviously wrong, as african languages do not have cases, but classes.
    The author of the map seems to take every non-chinese-like language like a fusional-like-one

    i think one of the hardest languages to learn would probably native american languages with their insane polysynthetic structure
    Is Polish that different or more complex compared to other slavic languages or why would it be considered difficult? Kinda like what german is to english?

    Yup. Navajo seems like a hell to learn! But it's very different and intriguingly bizarre too! It does not use adjectives for instance. Polish is complex and irregular but I am not sure whether much tougher than Czech or Slovene is.
