Japanese uses a combination of the following four writing systems:



Kanji: Chinese characters, introduced to Japan via Korea around the third or fourth century AD, are primarily used for word roots and stems. There may be as many as 50,000 kanji characters, though only 5,000 to 10,000 are commonly used.

Hiragana: 46 phonetic symbols, representing all the sounds of the Japanese language, curvilinear in style, used mainly for grammatical elements of Japanese such as verb and adjective endings and particles.

Katakana: 46 phonetic symbols, representing the same sounds as hiragana, more angular in style and used to write words imported into Japanese from other languages including foreign names.

Romaji: the Roman alphabet used to write words as they sound in Japanese.
