Japanese honorifics comparable to any other language? - 01-22-2008, 06:01 PM

Yeah, this isn't much of a 'Japanese help' type question. But I couldn't think of a better place to put it.

Japanese is apparently all about the honorifics. And I was wondering, is there any other language out there as honorific intensive as Japanese? If not, what's the secondmost honorific using language?



Q: Who cares what other people think?!?!
A: Japanese people do.
