Japanese Writing System 日本の文字ひらがなカタカナ漢字

History Until Japan came in contact with China, it had no writing system of its own. Japanese was a spoken language only. The Japanese adopted the Chinese writing system to express their spoken language in writing. Kanji = 漢字　＝Chinese (Han Dynasty) characters

Hiragana & Katakana Both hiragana and katakana derived from Kanji. Kanji=based on meaning Hiragana/katakana=based on sound 加ーーー＞かーーー＞カ

What do you think they mean? 山　 mountain 川 river 魚 fish 女 woman

What do you think they mean? 雨 rain 馬 horse 手 Hand 目 eyes

What do you think they mean? (combination) 男 (田 rice field, 力 power) men 明　(日 sun, 月 moon) bright 休　(人 person, 木 tree) rest 好　(女 women, 子 child) like, likable

What do you think they mean? 田 rice field 木 tree 林 small forest 森 big forest

Hiragana ひらがな Invented by women who were denied higher education Hiragana developed from man’yogana, Chinese characters used for their pronunciations, a practice which started in the 5th century.

Katakana カタカナ Katakana was developed in the early Heian Period from parts of man'yogana as a form of shorthand. The word katakana means "fragmentary kana," as they are derived from components of more complex kanji

Katakana

How many are there? Kanji: 50,000 but you only need to learn 2,000 Hiragana: 46 Katakana: 46

Modern Japanese texts Combination of three Kanji: nouns, verbs, adjectives Hiragana: parts which do not convey the major message in the sentence Katakana: words of foreign origin, names of foreigners, sounds
