Japanese

Japanese (日本語 Nihongo) is the de facto official language of Japan with over 130 million speakers. Japanese is written with a combination of three scripts: Chinese characters called kanji, and two syllabic scripts made of modified Chinese characters, hirigana and katakana.

The study of the Japanese language is popular among non-native speakers around the world and many major universities offer Japanese language courses.
