Japan
has a population of over 120 million, and linguistically
it is a nearly homogenous nation, with more than
99% of the population using the same language. There
are many theories about the origin of the Japanese
language. A number of scholars believe that syntactically
it is close to such Altaic languages as Turkish
and Mongolian, and its syntactic similarity to Korean
is widely acknowledged. The Japanese writing system
comes from Chinese, although the languages spoken
by the Japanese and Chinese are completely different.
After Chinese writing was introduced sometime in
the fifth or sixth century, it was supplemented
by two phonetic scripts (hiragana and katakana)
that were transformed from the Chinese characters.
A large number of local dialects
are still used. Whereas standard Japanese, which
is based on the speech of Tokyo, has been gradually
spreading throughout the country under the influence
of media such as radio, television, and movies.
