Hi Elliot, you reclassified Japanese as "Debatable whether conservative" without giving any reasons for doing so. I find HumanGeographer's arguments for Japanese being a conservative language rather convincing and would be interested in hearing your arguments for why you think that's debatable. Thanks, --[[User:FrederickT3|FrederickT3]] 03:26, 1 December 2011 (EST)

:Japanese has many Conservative features, but the one inescapable truth is that Christianity is almost non-existant there. There are many more Christian Japanese that speak English living outside Japan than there are Christian Japanese who live in Japan. This is clearly because the language is not Conservative. --[[User:ElliotS|ElliotS]] 13:14, 3 December 2011 (EST)

::Or perhaps it's because Japan has a very tradition-bound homogenous culture and people are reluctant to change religion? --[[User:ClearView2011|ClearView2011]] 13:16, 3 December 2011 (EST)
