Japanese
is a
language
spoken
by over
130
million
people
in Japan
and in
Japanese
emigrant
communities.
It is
related
to the
Japonic-Ryukyuan
languages.
Its
relationships
with
other
languages
remain
undemonstrated.
It is an
agglutinative
language
and is
distinguished
by a
complex
system
of
honorifics
reflecting
the
hierarchical
nature
of
Japanese
society,
with
verb
forms
and
particular
vocabulary
to
indicate
the
relative
status
of the
speaker,
the
listener,
and a
person
mentioned
in
conversation
(regardless
of his
or her
presence).
The
sound
inventory
of
Japanese
is
relatively
small,
and it
has a
lexically
distinct
pitch-accent
system.
