Japanese most sophisticated language ever?

Japanese is widely considered by most experts to be the oldest and the most sophisticated language in the world, not to mention the oldest self-contained language surpassing even the ancient Greek and Chinese!

When British academics went to Japan during the time of the Meiji Restoration, they studied the language intensively and discovered to their surprise that Japanese is not related to any other language family on earth. They also claimed that it was more refined than Latin and more precise than Greek! It's so perfect that it can used as computer language!

Yeah, because computers are exceptionally good at deducing meaning from context, as you have to do in context-driven languages like Japanese.

Probably if you make very excessive use of kanji (like 19th century Japanese did) it could appear clear enough. Computers have no trouble memorizing kanji, they can use up to 20000 of them without being greatly slowed down I think.

I'm not just talking about homophones, Japanese as a whole just isn't a very explicit language and usually leaves many things up to the listener to interpret. Not a problem when you speak to humans, but something as stupid as a contemporary computer just can't cope with it.

Also, I don't think kanji use back in the day was "excessive." Modern Japanese tends to use way too few kanji for my tastes, and that makes shit pretty hard to read when you don't know the language too well yet. I wish they'd either use more kanji again or start using spaces already.
