Japanese uses 4 distinct systems of writing: kanji, hiragana, katakana and romanji. Hiragana is syllabic and the most original writing system in Japan. It is used for simple words, conjugations, particles and children's literature as it is the first set of writing which is taught. Katakana is used to write foreign words. Kanji is based on the Chinese writing system and consists of about 2000 signs. Recently, romanji, a romanization of Japanese words - has developed, too.

Japanese uses 4 different ways of addressing people: kun, chan, san and sama. Kun is somewhat condescending, chan is used for intimates and children, san is the universal mode and sama is deferential.

Vocabulary can vary according to gender of the speaking person: women use other vocabulary than men.
