日本語 (Nihongo) – Facts about the Japanese language
Japanese is the de facto official language of Japan. It is spoken by over 127 million people, mostly in Japan, although communities of Japanese speakers can be found in neighbouring countries such as Korea and mainland China as result of former Japanese occupation and in Brazil, Peru and the United States where there have been large influxes of emigrants.
Japanese is of the Japonic family of languages and is most closely related to Ryukyuan, which although regarded by linguists as a separate language, is widely considered a dialect of Japanese by native speakers of the language. In Japan, there are dozens of regional dialects, which can generally be distinguished into three groups: Tokyo-type, Western-type and Kyushu-type dialects.
Japanese is written in a mixture of kanji, hiragana, and katakana. The Japanese initially adopted Chinese writing script for its written language. However, over time, Chinese characters (Kanji) were supplemented by two other types of scripts were developed. Hiragana and Katakana are both syllabaries, where each character is representative of a syllable.
