General Information about the Japanese Language

There are about 127 million people in Japan and around the globe who speak Japanese. Japanese is a so-called agglutinative language with a complex system of politeness forms, which reveals the relative, hierarchical relationship within Japanese society between the speakers in a conversation.

Japanese vocabulary has been strongly influenced by Chinese over the past 1500 years. Japanese writing is a mixture of Kanji – borrowed from Chinese script - and the syllable-based scripts, Hiragana and Katakana. Japanese is one of the two languages in the Japanese-Ryukyuan language family – the other language in this family is Ryukyuan, which is spoken on the Ryukyu Islands. The origin of this language family is still unknown. Japanese seems to be related to other languages in many ways. Here below are the most common theories: - Japanese is related to dead languages that used to be spoken in Korea and Manchuria - Japanese is related to Korean – Japanese belongs to the Altaic languages, which, according to proponents of this theory, also includes Mongolian, Tungusic, Turkish and Korean, - Japanese is a Creole language, possibly with Austronesian influences – Japanese is a pure Austronesian language – Japanese is related to Tamil.

Geographic Expansion of Japanese

When Japan occupied Korea, Taiwan, parts of China and different islands in the Pacific Ocean during World War II, the inhabitants of those areas were all forced to learn Japanese. As a result, many of the inhabitants of those areas still speak Japanese to this day in addition to or instead of the language of their region. Many Japanese emigrants all over the world still speak Japanese as their first language. The largest concentration of Japanese emigrants is found in Brazil, followed by Australia and the United States, where they are largely concentrated in California and Hawaii. However, the second generation of emigrants seldom speak fluent Japanese.

Japanese Writing

Japanese did not have its own writing system back in the fifth century. Once the Japanese came into contact with the Chinese culture through Korean monks and scholars, they took on the Chinese writing along with other aspects of Chinese culture. Over time, this led to a Japanese writing system. Chinese characters were used for words of Chinese origin or Japanese words with the same meaning. Word endings and expressions with a grammatical purpose were also written in this kanji script until the development of the syllable-based writing systems Hiragana and Katakana. These days, word endings and grammatical parts of sentences are written in Hiragana. Japanese students learn Kanji during their first year of school. During their years of schooling they are taught a curriculum of the most important characters as determined since 1945 by the Japanese ministry of education.
