A language like Japanese, with three different alphabets and thousand of characters requires more mental effort than hebrew, with 22 characters and no vocals, to be read and interpreted.

It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to figure that somebody who has to juggle hundreds of characters in his head when needing to write (a simple daily task) is more mentally fit than somebody who doesn't even use vocals.

How much do you think languages influence the people that use them?

We can test this on nigger babies, if they don't turn out to be total chimps, you might be right. It would be very interesting to see people switching to Japanese to gain extra IQ points.

japanese actually has pretty retarded grammar constructions and simple phonetics, while hebrew has glottal sounds and uses vowel infixing (which is also why they don't write down vowels, word roots in semitic languages are consonants only and vowels vary wildly depending on case, number, shit like that)

also I hope you understand that english actually uses three alphabets; uppercase, lowercase and cursive

Language learning has to do with age rather than intelligence. A nigger can learn both Afrikanns and whatever other language his community speaks.

Don't lay your trip on me cultural relativist scum.

Oh sure, all languages are as beautiful and amazing and culturally deep as each other....

....but when push comes to shove, and a jap has to sit down and write "water" he must access the 10k (or however many there are) kanji in his mind and remember the one he needs, then he needs to remember the stroke order and all in limited time. It sure takes more work than a yeshiva bucher sitting down and writing 3 consonants, doesn't it?

how do you live with yourself?

Actually no, "water" is one of the "only" 214 radicals. 水 or 氵 when used as part of other more complex characters.

>then he needs to remember the stroke order

Stroke order is actually really intuitive and you can't get it wrong. You just go from top down, from left to right. And nobody is going to give you shit if you use wrong stroke order, it's only important because it makes it easier to write cursive if everyone uses the same.

We get it, you speak japanese.

Africans have already invented a system that is somewhat similar to Japanese kanji.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nsibidi

Nsibidi is a pictographic system, which is the predecessor to what's called a logographic system (that's what kanji are; abstracted pictograms). According to the Wikipedia article, there have been 500 recorded symbols but they vary across the different peoples who use them, so there are more likely to be thousands in use.

This is not a far cry from Japanese, although it is an earlier stage of development (and the Asians developed these characters thousands of years before the Africans).

Also, only Japanese scholars would know 10k characters. To read a newspaper, one needs 3,000 and the average Jap doesn't go much further than this.
