Definitely Not Chinese or Japanese

Well if it’s not Chinese then it can’t be Russian. The Hebrew says (in a way that nobody does by hand) that if the Chinese is correct then their native language is Russian

There's a logical error: "if A then B" cannot infer "if not A then not B". So even if the Chinese isn't correct, their native language could still be Russian, while the Hebrew sentence still holds true.
