The Japanese language is the national and official language in Japan.

Overview

The Japanese language, also known as Nihongo in Japan, has over 127 million speakers. Most of which are found in Japan. It is currently ranked as the 9th most commonly used language in the world.

Aside from the Ryukyuan language as its relative language, there are no known origins of the Japanese language. Despite sharing a few similarities with the Korean language and Austronesian languages, there is no evidence that Japanese is related to these languages.

Japanese has a heavy influence from the Chinese language because of more than 1500 years of language and cultural contact. The kana and kanji characters used in the Japanese writing system comes from the Chinese language.

Japanese is grouped into several varieties including Western, Eastern and Kyushu dialects. The standard form of the language is based from Tokyo’s dialect known as hyojungo. Ever since 1886, this standard has been taught in schools. Because of this, the distinctions among several Japapnese dialects are slowly disappearing.

The usual order of Japanese sentences us subject-object-verb. Sometimes, subject pronouns are even removed. There are only two types of verb tenses in the language. These includes the past and present verb tenses.

Unlike European languages, Japanese doesn’t use gender and number for nouns, and articles don’t accompany any noun. Instead, particles are used to indicate the functions of nouns.

Here are etiquette rules you need to know if you are doing business with a Japanese company and hoping to win a client or two.

  • Silence is given more value than a lot of talking. It is seen to be linked with credibility. Not only that but it shows emotional self-control and wisdom. A formal and introverted approach to begin a business relationship is better received in the country.
  • Compared to other countries, group solidarity is given more value than individualism. This is because of the country’s group-oriented culture. Team concept is very important in Japan so individual praise or recognition is rarely done.
  • When given a business card, you should accept the card with both hands, read it and then put it in your business card holder. If you are seated, you have to place the card on the table all throughout your meeting before puting it in your holder. These are done to show respect for the other person.
  • Age is very much revered in Japan so the older you are, the higher your seniority. Always greet the oldest person before others.
  • When persuading, a more gentle presentation is better than a confrontational approach. Don’t speed up the process of decision making or you might come out as disrespectful. Build enough trust and avoid being impatient.
  • The Japanese are very reserved and private. As such, try to avoid asking a lot of personal questions or you might come of as rude or pushy.
