Japanese to Chinese translation services
The common belief that Japanese shares a mutual ancestor with Chinese is strongly dismissed by linguists and language historians around the world. This misconception has probably sprung from the fact that the Japanese people use Chinese alphabet – kanji. The inhabitants of Japan became familiar with this type of writing by the agency of the Korean monks and scholars. They began to adopt it around the 5th century and it is still extensively used today alongside two syllabic scripts - hiragana and katakana – and the Latin alphabet. The powerful Chinese influence is also reflected in the Japanese vocabulary and way of life. Nevertheless, the country’s several centuries of isolation led to the birth of a unique and independent culture based on values overlooked and underestimated by other peoples. Honour, duty and the unconditional respect for the members of the upper classes constitute the groundwork of the Japanese social system.
