Language
 The national language is Japanese, which is the primary spoken language across the country. Old
Japanese, or "Kanbun", originated from China and the earliest Japanese text, the "Kojiki," was
written in the early 8th century and was written primarily in ancient Chinese characters. Modern
Japanese developed during the Edo period, between 1603 and 1868.
 Modern Japanese consists of three alphabets:
 Kanji (logographic Chinese characters)
 Hiragana (a phonetic Japanese alphabet)
 Katakana (a phonetic alphabet used for foreign words)
 The development and widespread use of Katakana is illustrative of Japan's recent adoption of
Western cultures, ideas and words
