Japanese is an evolving language. There are over 127 million speakers. Besides a large number of Japanese emigrant communities all over the globe, the language is mainly spoken in Japan. Morphologically, Japanese is a agglutinative language in which words are created by joining morphemes to compounds. Another important feature is a large number of honorifics that reflect the hierarchical structures of the Japanese society. This makes Japanese a spoken language in which the vocabulary actually depends on the relative status of speaker and listener.

The written language uses a combination of three different types of glyphs: Chinese characters (called kanji), and the scripts hiragana and katakana. Modern Japanese often uses the Latin alphabet (called rōmaji) in particularly for company names, in advertising, and in context with computer inputs. Western style Arabic numerals are generally used for numbers, but traditional Chinese/Japanese numberings are also commonplace.

The Japanese vocabulary is influenced by other languages. Many words are borrowed from Chinese, or formed on Chinese styles. This reflects a development over at least 1,500 years. Since the early 20th century, Japanese has adopted a many words from Western languages, above all from English.

Interestingly this particular combination sees a wide range of client topics:

  • Governmental issues
  • Legal translation (including contracts and patents)
  • Food and drink
