If it was just one language and writing system as a choice, I might say Japanese.
There are so many different characters in their writing as symbols instead of phonetic sounds, that bookstores in Japan are divided into sections, in which one has books that use… say 500 characters, then another section with books that use 1200 characters, or 5000, or 10,000, or more!
To read Japanese or Chinese with a mastery of over 10,000 symbols might be my choice. The richness and depth of those writings must be something incredible.
My second choice, for shits ‘n’ giggles, might be something like Sumerian or Akkadian, in the original Cuneiform!
