ABOUT JAPANESE LANGUAGE

• Japnese Language is actually called ‘NIHONGO’. While most people outside Japan refer to the language as ‘Japanese,’ native speakers actually call it ‘Nihongo.’ This is the same with the name ‘Japan,’ which is referred to as ‘Nihon’ or ‘Nippon’ in the native dialect.
• Japanese is the de facto language of Japan, and it’s also the only place where Japanese is the official language.However, that doesn’t mean Japan is the only place where the language is spoken!
• Japanese isn’t a tonal language.Like all languages, though, Japanese does have a certain rhythm and cadence to its words and sentences.
  The best way to learn the unique music of the Japanese language is by listening to authentic speech.
• Japanese is one of the most fast-paced spoken languages in the world.Interestingly enough, Japan has a spoken syllable rate of nearly eight syllables per second. That beats out Spanish, French and Italian.
• Despite popular belief, Japanese has no genetic relation to Chinese.kanji is adopted from Chinese characters and used as a Japanese writing system and Japanese “borrows” quite a few phrases and words from Chinese.However, the Japanese language as a whole, isn’t derived from the same language family as Chinese.
• Japanese is considered one of the most unique languages in the world.
• The Japanese language relies on not one but three different alphabets – hiragana, katakana and kanji – which are differentiated both by their distinct appearances and by their use.

1. Kanji: They are Chinese letters absorbed into the Japanese lingua. It is made up of over 6000 characters, though the average Japanese may just need 2136 for daily life in Japan.
2. Hiragana: This is the most original writing. It is made up of 46 cursive characters used to write Japanese syllables. It is also used for verb and adjective inflections and simple words.
3. Katakana: For foreign words, names, and loanwords changed to suit the Japanese tongue, e.g., ‘teburu’ (table, ‘aisu’ (ice), and ‘takushi (taxi).
4. Romaji: Sometimes, it’s not counted as a writing system.It is a method of writing Japanese in Roman characters.Romaji is commonly used in phrasebooks and when studying Japanese at a beginner level, but actual native material is usually written using the Japanese writing system.
