Artistic Forces/Japanese

Japanese (Kanji: 日本語, Hiragana: にほんご, Katakana: ニホンゴ, Nihongo) is an East Asian language spoken by about 128 million people on Earth, originally in Japan, where it is widely used as the national language. It is also a member of the Japanese-Ryukyuan (or Japonic) language family, and its ultimate derivation and relation to other Ural-Altaic dialects is unclear. Japanese-Ryukyuan languages have been grouped with other language families: Ainu, Austroasiatic, Korean, and the now-discredited Altaic. However, none of these proposals has gained widespread acceptance. The written forms of this language are Kanji, which is borrowed from the traditional Chinese literal system since the 5th century, and Kana, which is divided into both Hiragana and Katakana that firstly derived from Kanji. In the world of Animatopia, the Japanese language itself is usually spoken through parts of the eastern continent of Orientashia, such as Kemonomimikoku, Saigoku, and Tougoku. It is also commonly used and designated as one of the surviving dialects in the universe, especially on both Earth and Animatopia, and a factionally official language of the majorly monolingual factions: Rising Sun Self-Defense Force, Josei Guntai, Yami Musume, Kemonomimi, and Kaijin Gundan, with the next two being Kyoudai Gundan and Zaibatsu Teikoku.

Gender differences in modern Japanese
The big differences of this language are the ending (emphatic) particles or emphatics unlike particular languages in the world. For Japanese-language learners, ne is by far the most commonly used emphatic particle that both genders have along with yo, which is used for relaying new information or including emphasis, something like an exclamation mark, sa, which is a filler, na, which is for expressing either strong emotion or a desire for something, and yo ne, which can be a more emphatic way of using ne. However, zo and ze are both mostly used for males, while no, which sounds similar to 'nanda or nda for male people, and wa are both usually for females. Four of these masculine and feminine emphatics are differently opposite to each other. For Josei Guntai, Kemonomimi and Yami Musume as all-feminine factions that no male is allowed to recruit, they mainly use wa, no, and most importantly yo instead of ze and zo, which are frequently useful for the RSSDF and Kaijin Gundan as they both acceptably recruit both genders, predominately males, with the exception of Kyoudai Gundan and Zaibatsu Teikoku as both are the gender-bent versions of Josei Guntai and Yami Musume, respectively.
