Artistic Forces/Japanese

An Ural-Altaic and East Asian language known as Japanese (Kanji: 日本語, Hiragana: にほんご, Katakana: ニホンゴ, Nihongo) is spoken by about 128 million people, 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 planet Animatopia, the Japanese language itself is usually spoken through some parts of the eastern hemisphere, such as Kemonomimi-held territories.
