Japan
A country of Asia on an archipelago off the northeast coast of the mainland. Traditionally settled c. 660 B.C., Japan's written history began in the 5th century A.D. During the feudal period (12th–19th century) real power was held by the shoguns, whose dominance was finally ended by the restoration of the emperor Mutsuhito in 1868. Feudalism was abolished, and the country was opened to Western trade and industrial technology. Expansionist policies led to Japan's participation in World War II, which ended after atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (August 1945). Today the country is highly industrialized and noted for its advanced technology. Tokyo is the capital and the largest city. Population: 127,000,000.
the Japanese language
Language spoken by about 125 million people on the islands of Japan, including the Ryukyus. The only other language of the Japanese archipelago is Ainu (see Ainu), now spoken by only a handful of people on Hokkaido, though once much more widespread. Japanese is not closely related to any other language, though a distant genetic kinship to Korean is now thought probable by some scholars, and an even more remote relationship to the Altaic languages is possible. Japanese is first attested in the 8th century AD, when Middle Chinese characters were utilized solely for their phonetic value to write native Japanese words. Japanese retains a huge stock of loanwords from Middle Chinese, long adapted to native phonetics.

Reviewer: Kreuzn (Australia)
I found this very easy to understand, as did my husband who had no prior knowledge of the Japanese language. I read it many times before our trip, in order to remember important basic words.
We referred to it many times during our trip, and it was very usefull. I would suggest everyone purchase it.
Its small size is also great, easy to put in a pocket, backpack or handbag.
Reviewer: Olorien (U of MN - Morris)
I bought this on my first flight back from Japan after taking my first semester in Japanese. I thought that it supplied a ton of useful auxillary vocabulary to run with at the level of grammar I was capable of using. The book also has many slight mistakes, even I, a first year student, was able to pick out. It's got a few cute but dumb, potentially racist but we'll say ignorant drawings included. But so few that it cues one in as to how cheaply produced this probably was. I give it three stars though because I learned it forward and backward and broke it out numerous times to meet my needs in bars and train stations (never in restaurants for some reasons). And, to get me comic leverage in many conversations where I was not privy to the Japanese side of the chatter.

JAPANESE – THE FACTS
NAME: JAPANESE
NAME IN LANGUAGE: NIHONGO
LANGUAGE FAMILY: UNCONFIRMED/STILL UNDER DEBATE
CLOSEST RELATIVES: RYūKYūAN AND MAYBE KOREAN
NUMBER OF SPEAKERS: 125 MILLION
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF: JAPAN
DID YOU KNOW?
Despite numerous attempts by linguistic researchers, Japanese has not been proven yet to be related to any other living language. One theory links it to the group of Altaic languages (such as Mongolian), another one singles out a Ryukyuan-Japanese language family which according to some is a sub branch of the Altaic family, but according to others the result of a cross-over between an Altaic language (like Mongolian) and an Austronesian language (like Malay).
THE JAPANESE WRITING SYSTEM
Written Japanese is actually a combination of three different scripts.
The first, kanji, consists of ideographs (symbols that each represent a concept, idea or thing as well as pronunciation, rather than a word or set of words) borrowed from Chinese, eg 本 (hon) for ‘book’, 娘 (mu·su·me) for ‘daughter’ and 日本語 (ni·hon·go) for ‘Japanese language’.
The other two scripts, hiragana and katakana, are syllabic, that is, each character represents a syllable. Hiragana is used to represent particles and grammatical endings particular to Japanese and are placed alongside the kanji – one single Japanese word can contain both scripts. There are 46 basic hiragana characters each representing a particular syllable. They can be combined to represent over 100 different syllables. Each hiragana character also has a katakana equivalent. Katakana are used to represent recent borrowings from other languages, especially English, and foreign names.
Japanese is usually written vertically and from right to left. However, occasionally it’s written horizontally like English, especially when the text incudes numbers, Romanised Japanese (ie written in the roman alphabet), or English.
MYTHS ABOUT JAPANESE
The Japanese word a·ri·ga·to (‘thank you’) comes from the Portuguese ‘obrigado’
Trade with Portugal in the 16th century has led to the inclusion of some Portuguese loanwords in Japanese, but a·ri·ga·to is not one of them, despite appearances. An version of this word existed well and truly in Japanese before the Portuguese came on the scene.
As dialects are spoken in Japan, it’s useless learning Japanese to make yourself understood when visiting the country.
The language spoken in Tokyo serves as the standard language throughout the country and is used in broadcasting and education (whether the latter is in Japan or overseas).
