Facts about Japanese

• Language code (ISO 639-3): jpn

• Autonyms (how to write "Japanese" in Japanese): 日本語

• The Japanese language is spoken in: Japan

Japanese (日本語) is an East Asian language spoken by about 128 million people, primarily in Japan, where it is the national language. It is a member of the Japonic (or Japanese-Ryukyuan) language family, and its ultimate derivation and relation to other languages is unclear. Japonic languages have been grouped with other language families such as Ainu, Austroasiatic, Korean, and the now-discredited Altaic, but none of these proposals has gained widespread acceptance.
