What do you mean by "juding a language"?
Why do you think a language has a reputation? You mean something like those
who say it is hard to learn? Or those who make generalisations?
When you say Germans are neutral to judge, do you say it because of the
great experiment Germany had before the two World Wars in the studies of
languages?
