Which is Closer to English?

When it comes to syntax, it's Vietnamese, but I'd prefer Japanese to all those tones in Vietnamese. Interestingly, Vietnamese also had Chinese written characters, but centuries ago when the Bible was translated into Vietnamese a romanized system was introduced, and everyone switched over to that. Well, that's easier than Japanese, but still, those tones are a big problem in Vietnamese.
