Japanese is a language spoken by over 130 million people in Japan. Japanese call their language "Nihongo." It is a member of the Japonic (or Japanese-Ryukyuan) language family. The Japanese language is written with a combination of three scripts: Chinese characters called kanji (漢字), and two syllabic scripts made up of modified Chinese characters, hiragana (ひらがな or 平仮名) and katakana (カタカナ or 片仮名). The Latin alphabet, rōmaji (ローマ字), is also often used in modern Japanese, especially for company names and logos, advertising, and when entering Japanese text into a computer.
