Japanese
日本語
Japanese is a language with a long and rich history that has
undergone many changes in the way it's been written over the
centuries. The most recent major codification was just after WWII
with minor updates since then. The language
uses two syllabaries (kana) and Chinese characters (kanji) all derived
from Chinese, as well as the Latin alphabet (romanji).
Don't be surprised to see sentences like "CDを買います", which
means "I will buy a CD" and combines romanji, kanji and kana.
