1. German and French are over Japanese in the .ch portal because .CH is the country code for Switzerland. - It makes sense to emphasize languages used in Switzerland in the .CH portal.

How? Because the languages are in an order?
The order is chosen with Western-American values. According to what I see on my screen when I access wikipedia.ch, the Japanese and Greek languages are not emphasised at all. The German language is emphasised more than Spanish. The languages are not in alphabetic order. It is discriminatory and should not be applied on wikipedia.org
