About Japanese Language

Japanese is spoken by 130 million people in Japan. It is from the Japonic language family and not directly related to any other language.

Modern Japanese is written with a combination of four alphabets which are Hiragana(ひらがな), Katakana(カタカナ) and Kanji(漢字), and the Latin alphabet (Romaji). Every word has to use the correct alphabet therefore it is very difficult to write or read Japanese.

The traditional writing style is vertical, with the lines starting from the right side of the page, however since World War II; a more modern, horizontal style has been adopted.

Also, the Japanese language includes various levels of respectful, humble, and polite speech. Each level of speech is different in its vocabulary and verb endings. For example, there are more than five different words for “I”, depending on the context, people, situation and more.

There are a large number of dialects but most people understand the standard dialect which is spoken in Tokyo, the Capital of Japan.
