Japanese Translation Services
Japanese is the primary language of the Japonic group of languages and, of course, is the official language of Japan, where more than 130 million people speak the language.
The Japanese language uses three different types of script when in its written form; these are used in combination and are essentially Chinese characters. The three scripts used are; pure Chinese characters called Kanji and two sets of modified Chinese characters called Hiragana and Katakana. In more recent times the use of Latin characters has found increasing utility, especially in the use of such things as company names, logos, advertising and within the world of I.T. The use of Arabic numerals has also found increasing acceptance.
Japanese is a complex language, not least because of the existence of many different local dialects and because of a very structured social code of honour and respect; a system that is directly reflected within everyday speech. This can often be difficult for Westerners to grasp, but it is vital to ones dealings in Japan.
