In the future, Chinese character culture or kanji culture(汉字文化) still needs the joint efforts of the Chinese and Japanese people to develop together,this is our civilization
I think if I had learned about this when I was studying the Japanese language, I would have had a fuller understanding of the kanji, as well as kana, and probably had an easier time remembering and learning each. たくみ先生、ありがとうございました

Until the Meiji period, there were many hiragana. Nowadays they are called hentai-kana(変体仮名). Hentai-kana has about 270 characters and they all made from kanji. It can be said that modern hiragana is part of hentai-kana. Almost Japanese people can't read/write hentai-kana. If we can read, also may be able to read parts of documents written before the Edo period. Sorry for my poor English.
@systemverilog47272 жыл бұрын
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.

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
I thought that the katakana from ア (a) was more similar to kanji 了 (shu) that for 阿/啊 (a) , ヰ (wi) to kanji 衛 (Mamoru), and even the katakana ヲ (wo), フ (fu) and コ (ko), they look more like korean letters ㅋ (k), ㄱ (g), 그 (geu), katakana ト (to) also similar to the Korean vowel ㅏ(a) and ヱ (we) to chinese simplified 卫 in tradicional 衛

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

Just made me realize, basically languages and characters derived from its ancestry becomes simpler and simpler to write characters or symbols over time? I mean looking at this comparison and the comparison of old english language to english language. Ex. Most Chinese characters require 6 or more strokes to finish 1 chinese character. While japanese katakana derived from it requires mostly 2 or 3 strokes to finish a japanase character.
@solarprogeny67362 жыл бұрын
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.)

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.

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.

Also, every Hirgana characters are born from Katakana but by bigger brushes instead of thin brushes. So, for example: Every ノ became a full donut circle の Like メ to め And ア to あ And ヌ to ぬ Just focus on ノ line to understand. ム, ス, ホ, ミ and オ gets to circulate or arched each corner to be む, す, ほ , み and お since the angles by big brushes are rounded, and it is hard and unusal to raise your big bruch then put it again on a nearby point. レ got to be れ because if we focused on writing the I line then ノwe will end up with 2 I, like this I -レ with a line to link them together to be this れ ネ got a tale due to late rising up the brush to become ね ハ and ヒ are kind of swaped to be は and ひ. And イ to い is kind of the same situation as Hi kana. モ and ヘ and ラ and リ and セ didn't change much: もand へ and ら and り and せ just more smoother line. ツand シ are just dots linked to be つ and し . And, for ソ and ン it happened twice without raising the brush to become: し+し=ん, and つover つ to be そ. Like if 2 dots for one draw, and one dot for double draw. かきさけなにふやわ are just more line added to the original katakana カキサナニフナヤワ.
