- Ohta-san, you need to study writing systems more. If you bother to look
- at the languages of Africa and Indonesia which are written with the Latin
- script, you will find that they are perhaps 10-20 times in number as
- Indo-European languages which use Latin script. The same can be said of
- Cyrillic: more non-Indo-European languages are written with Cyrillic than
- Indo-European languages.
-
- It is also clearly not true that all of these communities (or even a
- majority of them) are Christian.
