		When the old man came home from the hills and found that the bird had flown, he asked what had become of it; so the old woman answered that she had cut its tongue and let it go, because it had stolen her starching-paste.

	Japanese Language - MSN Encarta
		In Japanese, the subject and the object are accompanied by case-marker particles: ga with the subject (Naomi-ga) and o with the object (kompyūtā-o).
		In Japanese it is possible to leave the subject, or any other element except the verb, out of a sentence, when the omitted elements are understood from their context.
		However, because elements of this hypothesis are inconsistent with some of the Japanese language's major characteristics, especially its basic system of sounds, some scholars have turned to the languages of the South Pacific, in the family of Austronesian languages, to find the Japanese language's genetic heritage.

		Japanese also shares considerable similarities with the languages of the Ryukyu Islands, within which Okinawa is located, although the Ryukyu languages and Japanese are also mutually unintelligible.
		Spoken Japanese evolved in four stages: Old Japanese (to the 8th century), Late Old Japanese (9th-11th centuries), Middle Japanese (12th-16th centuries), and Modern Japanese (from the 17th century to the present).
		Another influence of current note is the generation gap that exists relative to Japanese language use-today's younger generation is tending to favor the utilization of more neutral and informal speech, ignoring the importance of the role of honorific and gender-specific speech regarded important in traditional Japanese.

	Old Japan - Daguerreotype
		The Japanese have a high appreciation of the art, and are as pleased as children to see their faces on paper.
		Japanese sources consulted by Sebastian Dobson in Tokyo showed that, in the ten years before the Japanese embassy was sent to the United States in 1860, there were at least four instances of American vessels rescuing Japanese castaways.
		The Japanese, however, were fearful that they would be suspected of having abetted the Americans, and several left the group to try and find their own way back to Japan, while others, including Hikotaro, went back to California.

	The History of the Japanese Language
		The Japanese had no writing system prior to the introduction of the Chinese one, which was originally used by Chinese people who lived in Japan during the early Christian era.
		In my comparison of the histories of Japanese and English, I have come to the conclusion that there is a linguistic homeostatic relationship between (a) a change in the number of vowel phonemes, and (b) a new distinction between other attributes of vowels.
		Because of the volume and variety of English words appearing in Japanese print today, it seems to me that a Japanese person would not be able to understand a popular magazine in his own language unless he also has a good command of English vocabulary.

	Old Japan. We have Japanese Antiques, Silk Kimonos, Tansu Chests, Yukata, Lucky Cats, Japanese Masks and much more.
		The Japanese are famous for their stunning textiles, especially the National Dress called Kimono.
		Both young and old Japanese people enjoy dressing up in them to take in the local “Matsuri”, one of the many festivals that celebrates special days or events during the summer months.
		(Japanese like to mix and match the kimono and obi for as much contrast as possible, so kimonos and obis are always sold separately.) For that reason, our kimonos traditionally don’t come with sashes, so feel free to mix and match a sash, belt, or even a scarf that you have at home.

		Few scientists took that threat in the Cascadia region seriously until 1996, when Japanese researchers, in a letter to the international journal Nature, stunned their North American colleagues by linking a tsunami in Japan to geologic reports of an earthquake and tsunami at the Cascadia subduction zone.
		Japanese scientist Satake noted that since their first report in 1996 about the possible relation between the Japanese documents and the American earthquake, the Geological Surveys of the three countries began a joint project on the Cascadia earthquake.
