Japanese belongs to the Japonic language family. It is spoken as a first language by 122 million and as a second language by over 1 million people in Japan. The language is also spoken in different parts of the world and the number of Japanese speakers worldwide is estimated at close to 123 million people. Japanese is the official language of Japan. All education, media, business, and government are conducted in Japanese. There is a theory that Japanese and Korean are related, though they are related very remotely. Japanese has no clear genealogical relationship with Chinese, though in its written form it makes prevalent use of Chinese characters, known as “kanji”, and a large portion of its vocabulary is borrowed from Chinese. And, today we are very fortunate that we can learn the Japanese language as a second or third language.
