I heard about this woman who is a professor specialising in Buddhism. She doesn’t know Sanskrit, she doesn’t know Pali, she doesn’t know Chinese, she doesn’t know Tibetan. She knew a little Japanese once but has forgotten about it now.
She is considered my country’s foremost scholar on Buddhism and is invited on TV whenever they need a Buddhism expert.

to be fair, i don’t see what knowing Asian languages has to do with knowing a religion.
