Japan is a vast beautiful country with interesting facts and ideas embedded into their history. Let’s go back to May, 3, 1947, Japan’s Current constitution adopted as an amendment to Meiji Constitution Thus forming the country that we now know as Japan. The origin of Japan can be found in the Yayoi period where migrants from China and Korea were pushed into Kyushu (three Provinces) which interestingly enough are all genetically different, this is probably due from the different provinces of China and Korea moving throughout the islands of Japan.
The Japanese Language is connected to many languages including Ural-Altaic, Polynesian and Chinese, but has been discovered to be mostly connected to the Ural-Altaic family which includes Turkish, Mongolian, Manchu, and Korean. Even though people similarize Japanese to Korean because of its similar sounding vocal patterns, but Japanese and Korean are not at all similar to a native speaker of either language and in fact are mutually unintelligible. During the 18th century Japan has adopted a few languages into its language.
Languages like Spanish, English and Portuguese can be found in today’s modern Japanese language. Words like “biru” (beer), “gurasu” (glass), “aisu” (ice), ‘pan’ (bread) and “takushi” (taxi) all derive from those western languages listed before.
The Japanese people; although often viewed as very similar to their Asian neighbors, believe that their culture and ideals are unique. It is also believed that their language; although some words are derived from different languages, is the most unique language in the world and is not known to be like any language known on Earth.
Most people believe Japan to be one, single culture in early history, but in fact it was made up of three different cultures which are The Jomon, Yayoi and Yamato. The Yayoi and Yamato are believed to be the cultures of migrants who then brought new genetics into the gene pool of the Japanese people, thus over time creating the Japanese people that we now are familiar with.
