    I am curious about Arabic. I feel like it should be having the highest information rate.

      What makes you think that? I’m curious. I would’ve assumed something like Inuktitut (1 word conveys subject verb object tense …) or something like toki pona (removes unused information) or maybe a highly analytical language like one of the Chinese languages.

        I was comparing Arabic to other languages with the most speakers in the world. I have no idea what those languages you mentioned sound like. And I bet conlangs could be designed to fulfill such requirements as well.
