V. DEVELOPMENT OF NIHONGO WRITING SYSTEM

Direction: Choose and write the proper answer in number

A.D. 538, Japan monarchy invited scholars, philosophers, priest, engineers,

artists, craft man from china in order to learn their advance culture & technology of
civilization.
Japanese adapted Chinese Writing System of KANJI which is established in era
of KAN dynasty (BC 206 – AD 220) with 60k characters.
It was difficult to master KANJI, so Japanese modified & change KANJI to
HIRAKANA which means Easy Characters.
HIRAKANA was still difficult for common people to master, so Japanese
developed & change KATAKANA which means Part of HIRAKANA.
AD 1549, F. XAVIER came in Japan as a 1st missionary of Christianity. It was
the 1st time for Japanese to learn ALPHABET. Japanese called his characters as
ROMAJI because he came from Vatican, Rome.
Nowadays Japanese use these 4 characters in their daily life. That’s why nihongo
has most complicated writing system in the world.
