@@tomotsun2508 カタカナを作ったのはJapanese であるが，日本人じゃない！

@@yoairyug4524 ははは。分かりにくかったですね。 中国人という言葉の元になった中華民国という国は1912年ごろに誕生しました。それ以前は国の入れ替わりが激しかったのであの地域の人々は外交や貿易の場では支那人と自称し、英語ではChineseと表記されました。実はChineseを中国人とする歴史は110年にもなりません。 なので漢字のルーツに限らず、1912年以前の話に中国人が出てくるのは時系列的にチグハグなのです。 なお、日本人はJapaneseという言葉が生まれる前から日本人です。

終戦直後､GHQは漢字を廃止して日本語をローマ字化しようとしました。しかし日本国民は反対しました。そこで当時の文部省は当用漢字を制定しました。そして一部の漢字の簡略化が行なわれました。当用漢字は現在の常用漢字に当たります。

越南も朝鮮も漢字を使わなくなりましたからね。

The hiragana used depended on the region, correct? It is only recently (maybe 100 years ago) that the unified hiragana system was developed. You have better English than I have Japanese, so you're doing great in my book.

"Almost Japanese people"... maybe "Most of Japanese people" would be better here!

So does it means that Hiragana characters are just abomination of Chinese characters?

@@yuridenisov4751 Well maybe "Most Japanese people" would be better

were the hentai kana phonetic? or more logographic like modern kanji/chinese characters

Yi and Wu do not exist. Yi and Wu have never existed in hiragana and katakana because it is physically impossible to make those sounds in the Japanese language. However, the sounds Ye and We used to be part of hiragana and katakana, but over time their pronunciation was lost, so their characters became obsolete.

@@user-ef1qy9zq1g It is true that Yi and Wu are not syllables existing in Japanese, but multiple times people have created these characters to fill in the gaps in the Gojuon. Obviously they were never used, but the characters did exist.

@@user-zu3wq3lf3h Yes, people did use characters to fill in the gaps for the sake of convenience. But because historically multiple kana were used for each syllable (hentaigana), these were essentially just variants of い and う rather than separate characters.

@@user-ef1qy9zq1g but after the hentaigana were removed from standard usage, people still put different characters in the yi and wu sections of the chart. therefore, they are separate characters, even if they originated from hentaigana. also, the modern *hiragana* of wu is a character that was never used as hentaigana. i don't know if this is true of any of the katakana.

@@user-ef1qy9zq1g ignorant. You know there are many dialects from Chinese language and they derived from middle Chinese. Maybe this is Mandarin

That's what they want you to think..... See the idea that japanese originates from chinese neglectes all orher evidance Su h as the many curse words in the japanese lenguage...

這只是漢字在不同地域的縮寫或簡化罷了，漢字究其本源是非常多樣的。

China has in fact more than 4000 years history , the first king of China : 黄帝asked one of his officials named 倉頡 to create Chinese words, the easiest was one ( 一),. Two(二), three(三) which was self explanatory, mountain ( 山),please note that mountain has higher or lower peaks the word 山 tried to show lower to higher then lower peaks from left to right, there is a Chinese word 船，means ship, actually made up of three Chinese words,舟八口，this means a ship with eight people,why eight people because if you read Bible ,the book of Genesis,it mentioned there was a flood affecting the whole earth during ancient time, God saved the family of a righteous person named Noah, he was instructed by God to build a big ship called the ark before the flood and his whole family was saved,that included himself,his wife, his three sons and their wives,eight people in total, also the word 木means wood,林means forest,女means female,婪 means greed, why a female in a forest means greed？It was because the first female in the world was called Eve, she was tempted to eat the forbidden fruit because of her greed that she wanted to become as wise as God and she disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit inside the garden of Eden so that was why when 倉頡created 婪as the word greed, the word 富means rich,that is 宀，like a roof over your head, that means you have a home,a shelter to live then 一口田，and also you have land to farm so your food would be provided,and that means you have food today and place to live then no need to worry, you are rich

カタカナは漢字が入ってきたあとに、日本人が使いやすくしたものだって社会の授業で習った気がするけど…… 指導要綱に乗ってるレベルの内容ではないのかもしれないね

Lo que pasa es que según se, el katakana y el hiragana vienen de los kanji (carácter chino) con el fin de usarse como se hace en el chino, ya que en ese idioma y en cualquier otro, no todo puede estar compuesto de símbolos que representen conceptos, sino que también algunos símbolos o dibujitos son usados solo con su fin fonético y no su significado. Es por eso que en Japón, ciertos kanji evolucionaron hasta convertirse en katakana y hiragana, los cuales son solo usado con un fin fonético y no representan ningún concepto por si solos, son simplemente sílabas

@@verygoodtaste Excuse me if I misunderstood because I translate this with google translate ^^' but, yes, that is another interesting fact, the korean writing, as I know, was implemented long years ago by the king of that time like a system that would be better suit to the korean language, because of that, he created a writing system in which the symbols represented a diagram of how to pronounce each sound

Chinese characters are full words. Katakana are syllables. There is virtually no difference in the length it takes to write an entire word between Mandarin and Katakana writing. The idea that languages become simpler overtime is linguistically unproven. For instance, the modern alphabet used in English is more complex than the ancient Hebrew alphabet it is derived from.

@@solarprogeny6736 I see. I guess I may just be bias and used to for forming short and long words with using around less than 26-28 alphabet letters(both english and my native mother tongue) that takes 1-3 strokes to make each letter than trying to memorize more than 100+ characters(that takes 3+ strokes to finish one character) to form a sentence or word(and I somehow see almost every kanji/chinese character very similar to each other and one wrong small stroke will already mean a different word or sound.) Yeah, I somehow have severe problems with memorizations and have a below decent readable handwriting.

@@fantaseed9997 language can't "become simpler over time." With out that very process manifesting lesser inteligence. 😆 many older languages that are Latin based and related to English are essentially less complicated and quite literally translates to baby talk in English.

@@fantaseed9997 Language can't "become simpler over time." With out that very process manifesting lesser inteligence. 😆 Many older languages that are Latin based and related to English, such as German, are essentially less complicated and quite literally and unapologetically translate to baby talk in English. This is gets forgotten about, but the perfect past tense in English exists, because of the catholic church and is not present at all in the same way in other languages. It's discovering that, to avoid confusion, we must use more advanced language to exchange more direct meaning, is what progresses a language into complexity. It has even been shown that some languages are used to control the people. The nobility would speak a higher form of the dialect, then that of the dialect that the common people would and knew more words. One way to stop people from figuring out how bad they have it, is to not give the language to be able complain. 😆 Shakespeare himself created a lot of words, many that have fallen out of popularity, but many to convey emotions that people would have had a hard time getting out, so there is a freeing nature to it. You do not want things to go backwards.

Mandarin has been heavily influenced by the Qing court (Northern China, Manchurian) for a few centuries. The original inhabitants of the Northern lands usually flee South and get conquered last, and so would accumulate the older pronunciations in the South.

Cantonese is more similar to the Middle Chinese of the Tang Dynasty which was when Japan borrowed the Kanji characters

foolish

And as a Shanghainese speaker I can say the same thing; a lot of pronunciations are really similar with the Wu 吴dialects, which Shanghainese is a part of.

Many Japanese words are more similar to Mandarin, sun 太阳, cheers干杯....etc. Japanese derived these words from Middle Chinese, same as Chinese dialects. Some retains more of its old sound, some less. It depends on the particular word or poem. Min-nan, Cantonese, Hakka....Chinese linguists don't have a consensus, funny internet experts are making claims based on selective examples. Mandarin emerged from Ming dynasty, compared to Tang era, it rhymes less. Not so much it was influenced by Qing court, in fact, the court adopted Mandarin leading to the demise of Manchu language- doesn't have er sound. Mandarin did lose some tone, but also kept many sound as it was derived from old Nanjing dialect of Middle Chinese. Languages are fluid, changes over time. Cantonese spoken 500 yrs ago isn't the same as today, Shakespeare English unintelligible to modern English. Even South Korean sounds different from North K after just 50yrs. This dxxx measuring contest based the dialect you're more familiar is just silly.

草 means "It's funny". It's a Japanese slang.

方also looks like 才, when it's in cursive. I think that's why オlooks like 才

then there would be no way to distinguish Japanese from Chinese lol (at least for an outsider). I like the present system with the fusion of Hiragana, katakana and kanji. It's a very unique writing system.
