The Japanese Language
The Japanese language is heavily influenced by the traditional hierarchic system that defines the Japanese culture. A complex system of honorifics differenciations with verb forms and a particular vocabulary is used to indicate the relative status of speaker, listener or the person mentioned in conversations.
The Japanese Alphabet
The Japanese language is written with a combination of three different types of scripts: Chinese characters, kanji, and two syllabic scripts, hiragana and katakana. The Latin alphabet, romaji, is also often used in modern Japanese, mostly for company names and logos as well as advertising. Romaji is also used when writing Japanese with a computer. Western style Arabic numerals are generally used for numbers - the same importance have the traditional Sino-Japanese numerals.
The Japanese vocabulary has been heavily influenced by words from other languages. Many words were borrowed from Chinese, or created from Chinese models. Recently, Japanese has also borrowed a considerable number of words from European languages, mainly English. Because of the special trade relationship between Japan and Holland in the 17th century, Dutch has also been influential, with words like birru (from "bier" ("beer")) and kohi (from "koffie" ("coffee")).
