Japanese Translation

Simple Facts about Japanese

• There are approximately 125 million Japanese speakers in Japan and Japanese communities in the U.S., Brazil, Peru, Canada, Australia and the Philippines.
• The modern written form of Japanese consists of two syllabic scripts: “Hiragana” and “Katakana”. It also uses Chinese characters called “Kanji”.

Things to note:

• Japanese has a sophisticated honorific system that indicates the relative status of each speaker.
• The written form of Japanese is largely influenced by Chinese. It adapts a large portion of Chinese characters, called “kanji” in Japan.
• European languages have also had an influence on Japanese, as there are a large amount of English loanwords. For example, “ketchup” in Japanese sounds very close to English: “ketyappu” (ケチャップ). All technical terms are transliterated using Katakana. For example, “computer” will be phonetically spelled out as ‘con’ ‘pu’ ‘ta’ using Katakana (i.e. not conceptually translated).
