	Gairaigo in kanji - Sljfaq
		Gairaigo usually does not refer to words of ancient Chinese origin or Japanese words made from Chinese elements.
		In modern Japanese, gairaigo words are written in katakana, and native Japanese words are written in hiragana.
		Confusing the situation further, it is common to see furigana over Japanese or Sino-Japanese words written in kanji a different gairaigo word, for instance over the word ryoukai one might see the gairaigo equivalent roja- (roger).

		The function of gairaigo in Japanese might be compared to that of the cache in a computer CPU or disk drive, where "data" is stored until the system has the time or resources to process it.
		Because of this trend many gairaigo words are replacing standard Japanese, and in general terms this amounts to a shift away from kanji to the less expressive katakana.
		Gairaigo undermines and impedes the difficult process of language learning for both Japanese students and foreigners studying Japanese.

	Learn katakana first - Takipedia
		This is because katakana is easily mastered by the beginner, and yields immediate results in being able to read the vast amount of gairaigo (foreign loan words) used in the Japanese language.
		One critcism of learning katakana first is that a significant number of katakana loan words are taken widely out of context from their original languages, or they are shortened, combined with other words, or variously otherwise modified to make them barely recognizable to native speakers of the original languages.
		In addition, gairaigo make up only a small percentage of Japanese vocabulary, so deciphering Japanese through katakana words can often only give a vague notion of the topic of a sentence at best and a completely misleading sense of the meaning at worst.

		In Japanese, loanwords are called gairaigo ("words coming from outside") and written in katakana phonetic symbols.
		Gairaigo opponents protest that their over-use has already rendered a sizable chunk of Japanese incomprehensible to the average native speaker.
		Gairaigo hold an exotic, intellectual, or otherwise dynamic appeal for many Japanese and are being increasingly used as substitutes for existing Japanese terms.

		These words are called `gairaigo', a word which is comprised of three characters meaning roughly "outside come word".
		Note that `gairaigo' does not refer to words of ancient Chinese origin or Japanese words made from Chinese elements.
		In modern Japanese, `gairaigo' words are written in katakanas, and native Japanese words are written in hiraganas.

	MULP abstracts: Volume Two, Number Two
		The Japanese term gairaigo is frequently used as a gloss for loanword.
		Consequently both the kango and gairaigo portions of the Japanese vocabulary contain both loanwords and words coined in Japan from borrowed elements.
		In surveys of the responses of the Japanese public to gairaigo, the definition of this term has not generally been ascertained even though the influx of gairaigo into everyday life has been one of the main issues polled in most surveys on public attitudes towards current language use in Japan.

	Brown-Is Gairaigo English? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Editor's Note: Gairaigo is the Japanese word for "loan-words".
		In an earlier study done to determine whether or not Japanese students make active use of their "latent" vocabulary of English words which have been borrowed into Japanese, we determined that words borrowed into Japanese from English were more easily defined than words that had not been borrowed.
		It remains to the classroom materials developers to take full advantage of it, but for the student, a borrowed word approach to vocabulary development might prove to be a rapid way to increase word power.

		This provides a list of about 300 commonly known, and useful gairaigo, plus a further list of about 350 particularly useful and frequently occurring other words.
		Many of these are not actually targeted for students to learn, as they will already be known to the majority of students.
		However, even at this very low level, it is assumed that they will not all have picked up the same gairaigo and are unlikely to know all of them.

	Origin/purpose of katakana [Archive] - Japan Forum
		But, though Japanese too inducts an alarming number of gairaigo (foriegn words) into its vocabulary, I think the native vocabulary is kind-of protected by writing gairaigo in katakana.

		As this brief (yeah, right!) explanation implies, katakana was strongly associated with science and learning, which is why it is found very often in botany and marine sciences, often replacing seldom used and/or overly cumbersome kanji, so no, not all katakana words are gairaigo.

	List of gairaigo and wasei-eigo terms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a selected list of gairaigo, Japanese words originating or based on foreign language (generally Western) terms, including wasei-eigo (pseudo-Anglicisms).
		Many derive from Portuguese, due to Portugal's early role in Japanese-Western interaction; from Dutch, due to Holland's relationship with Japan amidst the policy of sakoku during the Edo Period; or from French and German, due to France and Germany's cultural and scientific prominence during Japan's modernization in the Meiji Period.
		Many loan words are in fact pseudo-borrowings: despite their links to foreign language words, the word forms as used in modern Japanese are not used in the same way in their languages of origin.

		Rather than contributing to the general pessimism about English in Japan, we would do well to celebrate the achievements as far as they go, and to build on the English that Japanese people already have.
		The first is to give the go-ahead to students to use Japanese words they already know, but now as words in English context.
		The second purpose is to focus students' attention on the different nuances of meaning and peculiarities of pronunciation of gairaigo words in English.

		Well, that's the problem with Japanese loan-words (Gairaigo means just that, borrowed words from foreign sources.) The Japanese alphabet is syllabic, so each consonant has a vowel sound to go with it.
		If you don't know what "basi-baru" is, you'll be out of the ball game (baseball is translated as basi-baru into Japanese.) Furonto by the way is FRONT and means the front desk of a hotel.
		Since Japanese is a very ancient language, it had to borrow words from English to cover modern technical subjects, and the Gairaigo pronunciation is essential to being able to communicate in business as a large number of words you will need to know are these loan-words given the Japanese sound.
