Japanese.
Ah!  It took me five years of visiting Japan regularly before I was able
to understand what they did not say. For the next 30 years I looked and
listened carefully to the 'belly talk'.
With hissing teeth and "yes, we will do that" really means "we will not,
under any circumstances do that, but we cannot say 'no'."

Enjoy, the language, it has some very fine poetry.
