À propos de は言うまでもない ①
は言うまでもない is a structure that combines the adverbial particle は, the う - Verb 言う, two (2) additional adverbial particles まで and も, and the い-Adjective ない. This is regularly translated as 'it goes without saying that (A)', or 'it is needless to say (A)', where (A) is whatever comes before は.
This expression may be preceded by almost any phrase, but is often emphasized even further by the inclusion of こと (or の), or ということ (or の).
Literally, this expression is a combination of the meanings of its individual parts.
は - Presents the topic.
言う - Presents that topic as something that can be said.
まで - Presents 'being said' as an extent.
も - Emphasizes the extent set by まで.
ない - Expresses that extent as not existing.
Fun Fact
This grammar pattern will often be followed by structures such as が, to add a 'but' nuance.Synonymes

Would be ……だというまでもない incorrect here?

Hey @sandoru !
だというまでもない would be incorrect and would sound a bit unnatural!

I want to bump this up as well; I think this (the 言わずもがな structure)
should be added as a “fun fact” or maybe a “caution” in the grammar description; I would have no idea what this meant if it showed up in a book I was reading.
If it’s going to be accepted as an answer, it should probably be talked about in the explanation of the point itself.
