Japanese 1Introduction

The Japanese language has three distinctive writing systems: kanji, hiragana, and katakana.

KanjiIn early Japan, Japanese was a spoken language

only and there was no writing system. China, however, had already developed a sophisticated writing system based on symbols called hanzi. As early as the first century, Japanese people had some exposure to these Chinese symbols on coins, official seals, and other decorative items imported from China. Like many other Asian countries, Japan adopted the Chinese writing system and by the 5th century, Chinese characters began to be used earnestly in Japan. The Japanese called this writing system kanji, which literally means “Chinese characters.”

This new writing system created a new literacy for the Japanese. When the Japanese adopted the Chinese writing system, they used the characters to represent both meaning as well as sound. As a result, in Japan there are two ways to “read” or pronounce a single Chinese character:

·on yomi, based on the original Chinese pronunciation,

·kun yomi, native Japanese pronunciation.

Japanese 1Many kanji have multiple pronunciations in both

on yomi and kun yomi.

How many kanji are there?That depends on various sources. One of the most

comprehensive dictionaries contains approximately 85,000 characters, but only an estimated 7,000 are said to be in daily use. Today in Japan, a kanji dictionary contains approximately 50,000 characters of which 2,100 to 2,200 characters are commonly used.

HiraganaSome Japanese sounds and meanings were

difficult to represent using kanji. To fill this gap, kana symbols were invented, based on the sound and the shape of the kanji. One such phonetic system is hiragana, which was invented between the eighth and the tenth centuries. Unlike kanji, hiragana represent a sound and not meaning. Hiragana is derived from a cursive form of kanji and the letters are curvilinear in style. They are used to express Japanese grammatical elements such as particles and the endings of adjectives and verbs.

There are forty-six basic hiragana syllables. There are also twenty-five additional modified syllables, thirty-six modified /contracted syllables, and one that is used to transcribe double consonants.

KatakanaKatakana came into existence at about the same

time as hiragana. The shapes of the katakana letters were also formed based on the kanji, but katakana have straighter lines, while hiragana are curvier.

Today katakana is used mainly to write loan words which the original Japanese language did not have. An example is the word for “coffee,” since coffee didn’t exist in Japan until it was imported from abroad. Katakana is also used for representing onomatopeia, the names of plants and animals (with some exceptions), and for placing emphasis on certain words.

There are the same number of katakana syllables as hiragana.

Japanese 1Reading Kana

Hiragana and katakana are phonetically consistent, and reading them is relatively straight-forward once the letters and their sounds are learned.

Today in Japan, the three writing systems are combined — kanji, hiragana, and katakana can all appear within a single sentence. Here’s an example:

デパート に 行きます。(I) go to a department store. (depaato ni ikimasu.)

デパートdepartment store (katakana)

に post positional word to show direction (hiragana)

行 the “root” of the verb “go” (kanji)

きますending of the verb “go” (hiragana)

In this course, you will learn how to read hiragana. For practice, all the words and sentences in the Reading Lessons are written in hiragana. Spaces have been added in the longer phrases for ease in reading.
