The Japanese Language and Writing

Before in Japan, they had no writing system but when they imported Chinese Scripts they were writing Classical Chinese or Japanese-Chinese hybrid style. Overtime the Japanese and Chinese writing system were the same or similar meanings. These two characters were simplified and became two syllabic scripts that are Hiragana and Katakana, which had the same set of sounds in the language. These consist of a little less than 50 ‘letters’ which are simplified to the Chinese characters.

This is another example of how Hiragana will be.

The Japanese writing language are written in Kanji and hiragana is used mainly for grammatical purposes. When you learn the practical you will notice. The difficult words or rare Kanji, are also written in Hiragana. While Katakana represents the sounds as Hiragana, which represent the new words that are imported from the Western countries and this is also based from the Roman alphabet.

This is the a Japanese script.

 Basically the interesting thing is that the writing is very different from our languages and they show much importance on their own language. The Japanese language had also creation of how they write the alphabet and they had also art in those words. These words show the importance in art for example they made a lot of scripts. The Japanese they had calligraphies that they are also form and artistic writing. The writing will be written by a traditional ink stone and it is also important as how they put thee writing as an alignment, colour of the background and texture from the brush strokes.

There are the Ink stone, brushes and an exampe of how they will creat the writing.

In Malta the Japanese Language and writing is not very popular but some people learn Japanese language and how to write Japanese. We had some scripts as well in Malta and these will be found in Museums, the Chinese garden and some houses they had something similar. The same thing that we had common are the words that are based from the Roman alphabet. Another important thing is that you didn`t see a lot of places that make calligraphy of their own language but they respect their own language and writing.
