Japanese knowledge
Japanese has nothing to do with Chinese, since they don’t belong to the same linguistic family. It is only related with the families of Altaic languages, such as Turkish, Mongolian or Korean. In fact, it doesn’t have any direct source language. Therefore, it is considered one of the most unique languages in the world. The Japanese language is spoken by, approximately, 150 million people. A fun fact about Japanese is that it’s the language spoken the fastest. At the same time, it’s the one that less information provides per second.It is believed that this language was born on the year 40,000 b. C. It was translation orally, when the villagers who spoke Japanese resided in the Caribbean archipelago. Nevertheless, from IV century a. C., it was the Chinese buddhist monks who developed the Japanese writing.
Problems that complicate the translation of Japanese
Japanese presents many different difficulties, i.e. its complexity. On the one hand, the Japanese language doesn’t have articles. In fact, the Japanese do not differentiate between “a” and “some”, for example. Unlike most languages, in Japanese you have to learn several words if you want to speak in a formal way.Japanese is an agglutinating language (like Hungarian). In other words, it forms grammatical sentences by joining several elements into a single word, which have a fixed situation. Unlike Spanish, there is no alphabet as such in Japanese. It consists of two syllabaries and thousands of ideographs (Chinese letters). The study of Japanese requires a lot of dedication and patience.
