Japanese

Japanese is an East Asian language spoken primarily in Japan. According to documents, Chinese had a considerable influence on the vocabulary and phonology of Old Japanese.Since 1945, it has borrowed a large number of words from English, especially vocabulary relating to technology. One major reason which makes the language so difficult to learn is that like Chinese, the written code is different from the spoken code. Also, Japanese has an extensive grammatical system to express politeness and formalities making it a ‘sensitive’ language to learn.
