The Japanese Language
- Japanese is natively known as 日本語 and belongs to the Japonic language family.
- There are approximately 125 million native speakers worldwide.
- Japanese uses three writing systems simultaneously: Kanji (Chinese characters), Hiragana (cursive syllabary for native words), and Katakana (angular syllabary for foreign words and emphasis).
- The Japanese writing system is one of the most complex in the world; literacy requires knowledge of approximately 2,136 j\xc5\x8dy\xc5\x8d kanji (commonly used characters) plus the two 46-character syllabaries.
- Japanese has an extensive system of honorifics and politeness levels (keigo) that fundamentally alter verb forms, vocabulary, and sentence structure based on social context.
- The language is considered a language isolate by many linguists, with no proven genetic relationship to any other language family, though it is sometimes grouped with Ryukyuan languages.
- Japanese can be written horizontally (left-to-right, modern standard) or vertically (top-to-bottom, right-to-left columns), with vertical writing still common in literature and newspapers.
- The Japanese community in Australia numbers around 55,000, concentrated in Sydney (North Shore, eastern suburbs), Melbourne, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. Japan is one of Australia's largest trading partners, and the relationship drives significant business, tourism, and educational exchange. Many Japanese residents are on temporary visas (working holiday, student, business) rather than permanent migrants.
About Bexley
Bexley is a suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Bexley is located 14 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Rockdale and is part of the St George area.
James Chandler named the suburb after his birthplace, Bexley in London, England. Chandler bought Sylvester’s Farm in 1822, from Thomas Sylvester who had been granted the land about ten years earlier. That year he was also granted 1,200 acres (490 ha) of land which stretched from what is now Bexley North to most of Rockdale and Kogarah. The estate was heavily timbered and a track through the centre, used by timber-getters, is today called Forest Road. Queen Victoria Street, Gladstone Street and Beaconsfield Street commemorate the British Queen and two of her prime ministers. Chandler was a well-respected citizen and became known locally as the Squire of Bexley, but his property attracted bushrangers, escaped convicts and other odd types. Chandler was not happy with his ill-assortment of neighbours and sold the land to Charles Thompson in 1836. Later it was bought by Charles Tindell, who began subdividing the land by 1856 for home sites. Lydham Hall, the oldest surviving residence in the area, stands on part of the original land grant of 1822. Joseph Davis settled in this historic residence in the late nineteenth century. Herbert and Frederick Streets are named after his two sons. Henry Kinsela lived on Kinsel Grove. George Preddy occupied Besborough, part of which became Bexley Park.
