Do you know that about 145 million people speak Japanese language all over the world? Statistically, it is the ninth most widely spoken language in the world. Approximately 5% of Hawaii residents speak Japanese and notably 1.2% of Californian (United States) population is from Japanese ancestry.<\/p>\n
So on the whole; Japanese speaking community is present all over the world specifically at Japanese islands, Peru, Argentina, Australia, United States, Philippines, China and Korea. This international interest is from the days of 1800s but after the World War-II it has gained immense popularity due to Japan\u2019s high economic growth. Japanese clear domination in the technology since the 1990s (such as anime and video games, automotive, manufacturing etc.) led to the global exposure of Japanese culture and its language.<\/p>\n
Now as result of globalization, more and more people are taking Japanese as their primary language. Even some of the higher educational institutions in US are providing a special study program on Japanese Language. According to Japanese ancestry, Japanese language is a combination of three different scripts namely Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana.<\/p>\n
