Can electronegativity affect the viscosity of liquid?

No, it does not. There is no correlation between the two.
Explanation:
The reason there is no link between electronegativity and viscosity is that water or H2O has an electronegativity of 1.5 and that's a pretty high electronegativity value although water's viscosity is the lowest on the chart.
This proves that electronegativity and viscosity have no link but electronegativity, forces of attraction/electrostatic forces, and inter/intra molecular forces have links and connections to viscosity.
