Paradox speaks Japanese like a native, and without accent - or rather, a neutral accent that doesn't signify any sort of regional bias. To go further, he speaks *all* languages like that, except for English, which he speaks like a Prairie Canadian (aka, like I do).
His proficiency, being superatural in nature, is quite limited - he has extraordinary difficulty with derivative languages (patois, pigdins, creoles, acrolects, etc). For example, while he can understand Parisian French, he has quite a bit of difficulty with French as spoken in Louisianna and Africa (not so much trouble with Quebecer French, since he's familiar with that.)
He also doesn't get man-made languages, since they're not 'living' languages - so Klingon, Esperanto, etc are beyond him.
In many ways, it's all or nothing, which is part of the reason he (and other dieties in the OMB uni) have the problem of slipping from one lanuage to the next unconsciously.
