Japanese Translation Services

Though Japan is the only officially Japanese-speaking nation, the language’s global reach is extensive across many regions, markets, and industries. With more than 125 million speakers worldwide, Japanese is the 9th most spoken language on the planet and also one of the most complex. Three alphabets and multiple levels of formality (known as honorifics) are just two of the factors that distinguish Japanese from other languages. Also to be noted is the significant role that cultural customs and traditions play in language-based interactions. Sloppy or unskilled translation services can result in Japanese language communications that are clunky, disrespectful, or even unintelligible.

Japanese Language Facts

  • Japanese is not directly related to any other languages and is considered one of the most unique languages on the planet.
  • Japan is the only country where Japanese is the official language. However, Japanese is spoken in many countries, including the U.S. (especially the states of Hawaii and California), Canada, Brazil, the Philippines, and the Republic of Palau.
  • Japanese is the 9th most spoken language worldwide but the 3rd most prevalent on the internet. There are more than 125 million native Japanese speakers!
  • Japanese involves 3 different systems of writing, known as hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Kanji uses Chinese characters but is not otherwise related to Chinese languages.
  • Unlike some east Asian languages, Japanese is not a tonal language, but intonation can still be an important factor in fluency.

Japanese Regions & Sub-Dialects

Though most Japanese dialects are mutually intelligible, the language has evolved differently in various regions of the country. The most widely spoken dialect is Tokyo-type Japanese, closely followed by the Kyoto-Osaka-type dialect. Other major dialects include Kyushu Japanese (from the island of Kyushu) and Okinawa Japanese (from the island of Okinawa).

Attention to the subtle differences between Japanese dialects can have a major impact on communication quality. When hiring Japanese interpretation or translation services, make sure to take regional dialects into account.
