LEARNING JAPANESE

Ever since Japan became the second largest economy in the world, learning to speak Japanese became imperative for all those in search of an opportunity of economy growth throughout the world. Nowadays Japanese has become one of the most widely spoken languages around the globe and it’s believed to be a gateway to other cultures for how expanded it’s become. Not only to have a better appreciation of the Japanese culture itself, but also to have access to an incredible growing market, learning Japanese is a great opportunity and an amazing experience. Japanese belongs to the family of the Japonic languages, it’s spoken by over 127 millions people around the world, and the vast number of words that it shares with Chinese makes it a Sino-Xenic language, though its origin remains uncertain. Japanese has been associated with Ainu, Korean as well as some other Altaic Languages such as Turkish. “Japanese Language” in Japanese is pronounced as “nihongo” 日本語; in which 日本 designates Japan and 語 means language. The Japanese words are called Yamato-kotoba 大和言葉; and the Sino-Japanese words are called Kango 漢語. The phonology of the language has barely changed through time with the exception of some syllables in their vocalic timbre. Originally, Japanese was written vertically from back to front but this was adjusted in modern times to fit the western method. The Japanese script is derived from Chinese and its adjustment has created three different Japanese scripts: Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. Although Hiragana and Katakana derive from Kanji, Hiragana is the basic script since it’s used to write words that cannot be written in kanji and to add different tenses, while Katakana is used for foreign names and words. The three most-used dialects are the Tokyo dialect, the Osaka dialect and the Kyushyu dialect, which differ in the pitch, morphology, vocabulary and accent in the words. Japanese belief and reliance in respect transgress to the language in the different formats used to communicate, thus the creation of Teinego or “Polite Language” (used with new acquaintances); Kenjougo or “Humble language;” and Sonkeigo or “Respectful Language” Although Japanese grammar is much different from western grammar, it’s much simpler as well, in simple sentences the structure is to place the Subject, the Object and then the verb at the end and the particles are made only to count objects.
