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 New York
New York City is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world. If New York City were a country, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world. New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists of the Dutch Republic in 1624. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York.
In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship, social tolerance, and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity.
