1) HTML
2) CSS

This is a mixed list because they are not all web design languages. They are all different things for different purposes. So just considering them as individual languages, difficulty in learning from easiest to hardest:
1) HTML - the hardest thing about HTML is not the language, but the design
2) CSS - cross compatibility is the biggest thing to learn
3) SQL - not a web design language. It's a database language.
4) LINUX / UNIX ENVIRONMENT - not a web design language, they are operating systems.
5) FLASH - All graphical and animations. web sites should not be designed in flash.
6) PHP - Simple templating language
7) AJAX - I separated AJAX because it's more than just java. Java powers the action, but it needs much more like javascript, CSS, etc. and you have to learn all of them for it to work.
8) JAVA - Of all the above, this is the only real programming language so is the most complex. But java is not a web design language. Maybe JSPs and JSFs that use java but are web design elements.
