Japanese Language
Related to the Ryukyuan languages. It is an agglutinative language and is distinguished by a complex system of honorifics reflecting the hierarchical nature
of Japanese society, with verb forms and particular vocabulary to indicate the relative status of the speaker, listener, and person mentioned.
Japanese is the official language. Most Japanese people will have studied English at school, but few can speak it well or understand what is said to them.
A Few Basic Japanese Phrases
Japanese is believed to be linked to the Altaic language family, which includes Turkish, Mongolian and other languages, but also shows similarities
to Austronesian languages like Polynesian. The Japanese language is spoken by the approximately 120 million inhabitants of Japan, and by the Japanese living
in Hawaii and on the North and South American mainland. It is also spoken as a second language by the Chinese and the Korean people who lived under Japanese
occupation earlier this century.
