主题：【原创】日本人国民心态的日本语潜意识 -- 唵啊吽

建议看看亨廷顿的书，他的书里日本是一个文明，这是维基的介绍：

The Eastern world is the mix of the Buddhist, Chinese, Hindu, and Japonic civilizations.

The Buddhist areas of Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Thailand are identified as separate from other civilizations, but Huntington believes that they do not constitute a major civilization in the sense of international affairs.（这类里也没日本）

The Sinic civilization of China, the Koreas, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam. This group also includes the Chinese diaspora, especially in relation to Southeast Asia.（这类里也没日本）

Hindu civilization, located chiefly in India, Bhutan and Nepal, and culturally adhered to by the global Indian diaspora.（这类里也没日本）

Japan, considered a hybrid of Chinese civilization and older Altaic patterns.

按照亨廷顿的文明分类日本是一个文明，只不过是 a hybrid of Chinese civilization

维基的亨廷顿的书的中文介绍就更露骨了，请看：

现代文明

世界主要文明圈 (Huntington, 1996[1])

1.印度文明

2.伊斯兰教文明

3.东正教文明

4.中华文明(Sinic Civilization)

5.日本文明(Japanese Civilization)

6.西方文明

按照亨廷顿的现代文明分类，现代日本是跟中国和印度甚至西方平起平坐的文明
