... evidence that Spain is in Western Europe? Or that throughout history, diversity in scientific ideas and the progress brought by said diversity have come in large part from language divides? You know, like, the entirety of medical history and modern-day biodiversity sciences? Or evidence that China surpasses the US and Germany in scientific production? Or how Spanish-language publications are extremely prevalent in many subjects, like linguistics, philosophy, social sciences, and humanities like archeology where they tend to surpass othern non Chinese/English speaking countries, and where Spain tends to have more importance than every country other than China, the US, and occasionally the UK?
It's easy to tell from the actual data that there's plenty of science in non-English languages, including Spanish, and many primarily Spanish-speaking countries have their own niches that they occupy (with Spain being one of the most influential forces in a lot of social sciences, humanities, and related subjects, and Argentina, Mexico, and Chile each especially pulling more than their weight in specific subjects).
Where exactly are you confused?
You must be blind or something because I linked real data that goes directly against what you said about Spanish scientific output. In fact, you were raving about all the "philosophy" Spanish doesn't have, despite Spain with its Spanish language literature often being one of the most important and highest-producing countries in terms of publications in philosophy and other humanities. Convenient for you to ignore it I guess.
You also said this:
Very clearly you thought that Mandarin has less intellectual capital than English and German, and that Mandarin was just "growing" but not actually ahead. Which is just not true, definitely not for German.
I can tell you have no idea about how rich scientific literature in other languages is, because you aren't involved in scientific literature and you don't speak other languages.
