Quick Facts

+ Unlike most western languages, Japanese has an extensive grammatical system to express politeness and formality. Reflecting the nature of Japanese society, verb forms and vocabulary indicate relative status of the speaker, the listener, and persons mentioned in conversation. These differences in social position are determined by factors including occupation, age, experience, or even a psychological state (e.g. a person asking a favour tends to do so politely)

+ These grammatical language considerations can further extend to non-verbal communication also, placing importance on this for example; much can be said with a proper bow. In fact, one is often expected to sense another person’s feelings on a subject without verbal communication. Westerners can often misinterpret this as a desire to be vague or incomplete. The Japanese may consider a person’s inability to interpret feelings through body language as insensitivity

+ Spoken Japanese is not strongly related to spoken Chinese; however the written language is related to Chinese ideographs (characters), which were adopted in ancient times

+ Japanese vocabulary has been heavily influenced by loanwords from other languages including Chinese, English, Portuguese and Dutch

+ There are many dialects of Japanese spoken in Japan; some of which include Western and Eastern Japanese. Possibly related to Korean, the Kagoshima dialect is 84% cognate with Tokyo dialect
