Quoted: 70s gradeschool said if you drop a bunch of silverware on the floor that's what the Japanese alphabet sounds like. View Quote How much silverware are you talking about? They have so many characters, that (from what I've read) you have to learn a certain number of them by the time you finish elementary school, a certain number of the characters by the time you finish middle school, and a certain number of the characters by the time you finish high school. If you go on to college, you are expected to learn even more. I think the total is somewhere over 700 characters in their 'alphabet'. |

Historically, their written language was also split along those lines, creating a system where men were taught one 'alphabet', and women were taught another 'alphabet'. I think it was in the late 1800s or early 1900s that their government realized they had to simplify their 'alphabet' in order to make use of modern forms of written communication ('hunt and peck' on a typewriter with hundreds of keys, would be a very slow process, for example). Many characters are now considered 'archaic' and not commonly used, but are taught in higher education, due to the need to be able to read historic documents. Imagine going to DC and making the rounds of the museums, then seeing the Declaration of Independence and thinking that you need to send a brief thankyou note to your college professor, since it was his class that allowed you to read the entire document and fully understand what was intended by the author. It's not difficult to see why a person might decide they want to learn how to speak and write Japanese, then not long after they start the process, say "screw that. the spoken language is enough of a challenge." |

Hiragana is the traditional Japanese alphabet and is used to denote japanese words. Katakana has the same phonetics as hiragana but is used to denote borrowed or approximate english words. Kanji is a logographic alphabet meaning that each character has its own meaning. There are over 70,000 kanji characters but the 2000 most common are called Jooyo Kanji and that is all you need to read a newspaper. The average Japanese student will graduate Highschool knowing about 3000 kanji. |

Quoted: they have hirgananis, then mega hiragainis, and then super, super hard advanced katanaias very difficult 1000-times folded language View Quote No joke. What phonetic conjugation system and even words you use depend on how higher/lower the person you are talking to. As an example: when the emperor of Japan broadcasted the announcement of surrender in WW2 to the Japanese people, only a handful (relatively speaking) could understand what he was saying |

Ok, a few corrections here.
Quoted: Their current spoken language has separate forms for formal conversation and casual conversation, and also for men and for women. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Their current spoken language has separate forms for formal conversation and casual conversation, and also for men and for women. The formal vs casual is called Keigo and has varying degrees depending on the status of both participants. It is extremely hard to learn and even many japanese people do not know all of the degrees. As for spoken languages both genders speak the same language however women used the lower Keigo and always addressed all men as their superiors. Historically, their written language was also split along those lines, creating a system where men were taught one 'alphabet', and women were taught another 'alphabet'. That is kind of right as men typically learned chinese up until the late Heian era, women were not allowed to learn chinese at those times so they learned the traditional hiragana alphabet and wrote solely in japanese (which was partially adapted chinese characters anyway). So it was normal for women to write in japanese and men to write in chinese at the time. During the early Kamakura era katakana and hiragana really took root and many chinese characters were being adopted into the more abbreviated Kanji. This all happened around the 1000-1100 AD time period. I think it was in the late 1800s or early 1900s that their government realized they had to simplify their 'alphabet' in order to make use of modern forms of written communication. Many characters are now considered 'archaic' and not commonly used, but are taught in higher education, due to the need to be able to read historic documents. That isn't quite true. What you are talking about is the formation of Joyo in 1923, which was essentially created to be able to effectively make a standardized list of kanji that everyone in the country was to know as up until then what kanji you were taught was kind of localized. The idea was also that all news, reports, textbooks, and other written media would solely use joyo kanji. This list has changed a bit over the last century but is mostly still in tact. All of the other kanji still exist, they just aren't commonly used. The average japanese person knows about 4,000-5,000 of the 70,000+ kanji. |
