I do not think language is a good tag. More specific tags should be used when possible.
Some tagging ideas can be found on https://japanese.stackexchange.com/tags.

1agreed. It's another meta tag - it will always be accompanied by more specific tags that describe the content better.– sevenseacatCommented Aug 24, 2016 at 6:37

Said a user that used the tag "discussion". I do not think discussion is a good tag. More specific tags should be used when possible But anyways you're right there.. Language tag is too general. It's like using the tag Esperanto ;-)– Yotam SalmonCommented Aug 24, 2016 at 10:33

4@YotamSalmon discussion is one of the three tags questions on a meta site need to have. (The others are bug and support). Without one of these tags, you cannot submit a question on meta sites.– avpaderno ModCommented Aug 24, 2016 at 11:58

Yes, a [language] tag conveys no information about the subject of the question itself. We call this an implicit tag where virtually every question on this site can presumed to be to be about "language".
I will remove the tag, but first someone will have re-tag those questions with something more meaningful. We don't want to orphan those questions as [untagged].
Update: The tag has been removed and will disappear overnight during the next automated cleanup.

@Nathaniel Thanks. Incidentally, the 'edit' button was disabled because those posts had pending suggested-edits. Commented Aug 24, 2016 at 16:41

Thanks! I realized afterwards that that might be the case. Commented Aug 24, 2016 at 16:46
Every question is about the language, when they aren't about the culture. I would think that language is an implicit tag, since when you see a question tagged verbs you know the question is about the language.
I would say, let's not use language, and use culture when the question is about Esperanto culture, rather than the language.
I edited the questions still using language. If the tag is not used in new questions, or old questions are edited to add it, the tag will be deleted in the next 24 hours.
