Foreword
Japanese is considered to be “the second hardest
language in the world”. Studying this Asian
language is really a fun. Mixed with the pattern of
pictures and syllables, the writing and ponounincing
system of the language, gives it a standard among
language scholars.
Japan, the country, rich for its flora,fauna,
automobile technology and the cars and lat but not
least or its heritage and culture, which somewhere
or somehow resembles with us.
I have tried to put in my best in this brie book,
which either may be taken as a refrence for non
native Japanese speaker or the person preparing for
N1 exam or anyboy who wish to learn this
wonderful language

ABOUT THE LANGUAGE
History of Japanese Language
Historical linguists agree that Japanese is a Japonic language, but do not agree further about the origin
of the Japanese language; there are several competing theories:

Japanese is a relative of extinct languages spoken by historic cultures in what are now the
Korean peninsula and Manchuria. The best attested of these is the language of Goguryeo (a.k.a.
Koguryo), with the less-attested languages of Baekje (a.k.a. Paekche) and Buyeo (a.k.a Puyo)
hypothesized to also be related, because of all these cultures' historic ties.

Japanese is a relative of other Asian languages. This theory maintains that Japanese split from or had large influences from - other East Asian languages such as Korean (and possibly the SinoTibetan languages).
JAPANESE ALPHABET
The Japanese alphabet is usually referred to as kana, specifically hiragana and katakana. While the
Hiragana consists of 48 syllables, it is a phonetic alphabet where each alphabetic combination
represents just a single sound. Thus any Japanese word can be written in a way that can be read without
having to remember how the word is pronounced. So the Japanese kana are much simpler, the way
something is written is the way it sounds. There is also Kanji, a Japanese system of writing based on
borrowed or slightly modified Chinese characters.

WHAT IS HIRAGANA?
Hiragana is the basic Japanese phonetic alphabet. It represents every sound in the Japanese language.
Therefore, you can theoretically write everything in hiragana. However, because Japanese is written with
no spaces, this will create nearly indecipherable text.Here is a table of hiragana and similar-sounding
English consonant-vowel pronunciations. It is read up to down and right to left, which is how most
Japanese books are written. In Japanese, writing the strokes in the correct order and direction is
important, especially for kanji. Because handwritten letters look slightly different from typed letters
(just like how 'a' looks totally different when typed) you will want to find a source such as a website or
textbook that will show you how to write the characters. I must also stress the importance of correctly
learning how to pronounce each sound. Since every word in Japanese is composed of these sounds,
learning an incorrect pronunciation for a letter can severely damage the very foundation on which your
pronunciation lies.

THE MUDDIED SOUNDS (Hiragana)
Once you memorize all the characters in the hiragana alphabet you're done learning the alphabet but
not all the sounds. There are five more possible consonant sounds that are possible by either affixing
two tiny lines similar to a double quotation mark called dakuten(濁点) or a tiny circle called
handakuten 半濁点. This essentially creates a "muddy" or less clipped version of the consonant
(technically called a voiced consonant or 「濁り」, which literally means to become muddy).
All the possible combinations of muddied consonant sounds are given in the table below.

COMBINED SOUNDS (Hiragana)
The Small 「や」、「ゆ」、and 「よ」
You can also combine a consonant with a / ya / yu / yo / sound by attaching a small 「や」、「ゆ」、
or 「よ」 to the / i / vowel character of each consonant.

LONG VOWEL SOUND (Hiragana)
The Long Vowel Sound
Whew! You‘re almost done. In this last portion, we will go over the long vowel sound which is simply
extending the duration of a vowel sound. You can extend the vowel sound of a character by adding
either 「あ」、「い」、or 「う」 depending on the vowel in accordance to the following chart.
Extending
Vowel
Vowel Sound
Extended by
/a/
あ
/i/e/
い

Sounds
For example, if you wanted to create an extended vowel sound from 「か」, you would add 「あ」 to
create 「かあ」.Other examples would include: 「き→ きい」, 「く→ くう」, 「け→ けい」, 「こ
→ こう」, 「さ→ さあ」 and so on. The reasoning for this is quite simple. Try saying 「か」 and 「あ」

separately. Then say them in succession as fast as you can. You‘ll notice that soon enough, it just sounds
like you’re dragging out the / ka / for a longer duration than just saying / ka / by itself.
DOUBLE CONSONANT
The Small 「つ」
A small 「つ」 is inserted between two characters to carry the consonant sound of the second
character to the end of the first. For example, if you inserted a small 「つ」 between 「び」 and 「く」
to make 「びっく」, the / k / consonant sound is carried back to the end of the first character to
produce “bikku”. Similarly, 「はっぱ」 becomes “happa”, 「ろっく」becomes "rokku" and so on and
so forth.
KATAKANA SCRIPT
WHAT IS KATAKANA?
Like Hiragana, Katkana is also the Japanese phonetic alphabet. It represents those sounds which can not
be formed in Japanese language.

LONG VOWEL SOUND (KATAKANA)
Everything else works exactly the same way as Hiragana, you just need to substitute the equivalent
Katakana characters. However, one thing that is different is that long vowels have been radically
simplified in Katakana. Instead of having to muck around thinking about vowel sounds, all long vowel
sounds are denoted by a simple dash like so: ー.
1. All long vowel sounds in Katakana are. denoted by a dash. For example, “cute“ would be written in
Katakana like so: キュート」.
THE SMALL 「ア、イ、ウ、エ、オ」 (KATAKANA)
Due to the limitations of the sound set in Hiragana, some new combinations have been devised over the
years to account for sounds that were not originally in Japanese. Most notable is the lack of the / ti / di /
and / tu / du / sounds (because of the / chi / tsu / sounds), and the lack of the / f / consonant sound
except for 「ふ」. The / sh / j / ch / consonants are also missing for the / e / vowel sound. The decision
to resolve these deficiencies was to add small versions of the five vowel sounds. This has also been done
for the / w / consonant sound to replace the obsolete characters. In addition, the convention of using
the little double slashes on the 「ウ」vowel (ヴ) with the small 「ア、イ、エ、オ」 to designate the
/ v / consonant has also been established but it‘s not often used probably due to the fact that Japanese
people still have difficulty pronouncing / v /. For instance, while you may guess that “volume” would be
pronounced with a / v / sound, the Japanese have opted for the easier to pronounce “bolume” (ボリュ
ーム). In the same way, vodka is written as “wokka” (ウォッカ) and not 「ヴォッカ」. You can write
“violin” as either 「バイ オリン」or 「ヴァイオリン」. It really doesn't matter however because
almost all Japanese people will pronounce it with a / b / sound anyway.

NUMBERS (KAZU)
The Japanese is rich in numbers. It uses Japanese numbers and Chinese Numbers. And it uses a system
of Classifiers or “counters” as well. This means that when you count things, you first have to classify
them according to what they are, or by their size or shape. For example to count pencils, bottles or trees
you will have different counters.

*The counting of Japanese origin stops at 10 while the counting in Chinese origin,
continues indefinitely.
Now, to form numbers after 10 in Japanese origin, you have to follow some simple steps.
If we write 11 as “10 + 1” it would not make any difference but for us it will be easier to write as :
To write 11, We shall combine 10 and 1 that will be ju+ichi=juichi
In the same manner to write 20 we shall say 10+10, remember as the value goes above ten, just count
the No. of ten in the value and prefix that number before ten.
Ex: 20= 10+10 , so here we have 2 ten, so to write 20 we shall write 2x10 = niju
With 100,hyaku, the pattern remains the same but there is some change in sound.

Japanese uses 10,000 as a counting unit. Each unit is called man. So 10,000 is ichi man, 20,000 is ni man,
100,000 is ju man, 200,000 is ni ju man. 1,000,000 is hyaku man (100 units of 10,000). This continues
until 100,000,000, ichi oku

KANJI FOR NUMBERS
The Third script (Kanji, as told earlier) is given below for numbers. They have two readings viz kunyomi &
onyomi and both are used for reading in different conditions as if there is single kanji in hiragana
sentence or with hiragana word we read it by its kunyomi or if there are two or more kanji together it is
さんがつ
read by its onyomi. Example: ” 一つ”shall be read as“hitotsu”i.e.by kunyomi while “ 三月 ”
shall be
read as “sangatsu”i.e. onyomi
But in every case we have to make sure that pronounciation should be conserved as well meaning
should not violate. Example 五 (means “go”) but it cannot be used as suffix to any word
