However, the island of [[wikipedia:Angaur|Angaur]] in the nation of Palau in the far south is the only place in the world where Japanese is actually treated as an official language. [[wikipedia:Ainu_language|Ainu]] and [[wikipedia:Ryukyuan_languages|Ryukyuan]] are used by the natives in Hokkaido in the north and the islands of Ryukyu in the south, respectively. * '''Government''': Constitutional monarchy. * '''Emperor''': [[wikipedia:Naruhito|Naruhito]]. * '''Prime Minister''': [[wikipedia:Fumio Kishida|Fumio Kishida]]. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * '''Currency''': Japanese yen. * '''National day''': February 11. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> == Japanese language == The [[wikipedia:Japanese_language|Japanese language]] consists of syllables, being either of only a vowel, a consonant followed by a vowel, or a final "n" that sounds like the nasalized "n" in French or Portuguese (or "-ng" for a closer approximation in English). </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> It is written using four scripts: the curved ''hiragana'' (平仮名), the angular ''katakana'' (片仮名), the Chinese ''kanji'' (漢字) characters, and the ''romaji'' (ローマ字) letters of the Latin alphabet. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Here is a guide to help you correctly pronounce the Japanese language, using the commonly-used [[wikipedia:Hepburn_romanization|Hepburn romanization]]: </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Vowels ==== </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * '''a''' - "ah" * '''i''' - "ee" * '''u''' - "ew" or "ooh" * '''e''' - "eh" * '''o''' - "oh" </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Diphthongs ==== </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * '''aa''' - longer "ah" ** Japanese Gachimuchi fans sometimes replace any instance of "a" with '''[[アッー!]]''' Many place names and products from [[Shinnippori]] are examples of this tradition, such as a local shop known as Coco StoAAAHre (ココストアッー). * '''ii''' - longer "ee" ** '''いい男''' (ii otoko, "a good [handsome] guy") * '''uu''' - longer "ooh" * '''ee''', '''ei''' - longer "eh" * '''oo''', '''ou''' - longer "oh" </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Consonants ==== </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * '''k''' - "k" as in "skip" * '''s''' - "s" as in "soup" ** '''sh''' - "sh" as in "sheep", before '''i''' or in '''sh'''-syllables (si-yV (sha, shu, sho)). * '''t''' - "t" as in "stop" ** '''chi''' - "chee" as in "cheer", before '''i''' or in '''ch'''-syllables (ti-yV (cha, chu, cho) *** ホイホイチャーハン ([[Fried rice|Hoi, hoi, chaahan]], "Hoi, hoi, fried rice") ** '''tsu''' - "tsoo" as in "Sun Tzu" * '''n''' - "n" as in "now" ** '''-n''' (final n) - something like "ng" as in "sing" *** '''ん”ん”ん”ん”ん”ん”ん”(肯定)''' (pronounced as "Ñññññññ (koutei)") * '''h''' - "h" as in "how" ** '''hi''' - "hee" as in "here" ** '''fu''' - "few" as in "few" * '''m''' - "m" as in "many" * '''y''' - "y" as in "yard" * '''r''' - "ttl" as in "bottle" in some American English dialects * '''wa''' - "wah" was in "want" ** '''wo''' is pronounced as "oh", as it currently only functions as a grammatical marker. ** The English letter '''w''' is used for "warawara" or "warai" (laughing), the Japanese equivalent of "LOL". It can be repeated so much, that "'''草'''" (kusa, "grass") is used instead of a lengthy zigzag of '''w'''<nowiki/>'s. * '''g''' - "g" as in "go" * '''z''' - "dz" as in "adze" ** '''j''' - "j" as in "Jeep", before '''i''' or in '''j'''-syllables (zi-yV/di-yV (ja, ju, jo)) * '''d''' - "d" as in "dart" * '''b''' - "b" as in "bet" * '''p''' - "p" as in "park" </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Extra notes ==== </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * When は (ha) and へ (he) are used as grammatical markers, they are pronounced as "wa" and "e" respectively, instead of the usual "ha" and "he". * Sometimes, ち (chi) is [[wikipedia:Kunrei-shiki_romanization|spelled]] as "ti", hence the spelling "[[International Wrestling Festival|Gatimutic]]". It allows some users to make puns with the Latin/English latter "T", like "tintin" (chinchin, which means "dick" in Japanese). * [[wikipedia:Ateji|Ateji]] is the practice of using otherwise-unrelated kana (Chinese characters) to write some words. This has led to many puns in Japanese Gachimuchi fanworks. For example, Marakawa (真良), a location near the fictional city of Shinnippori, is based on the word "mara", which is another Japanese slang word for "dick". </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> == Role == Japan is the home country of [[Nico Nico Douga]] ([[Mark Wolff|and]] [https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Characters Touhou] and all), [[wikipedia:2channel|2channel]], and [[wikipedia:Futaba_Channel|Futaba Channel]], and therefore it is also the birthplace of [[Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling|Gachimuchi]], which is a popular meme in these websites. The misinterpretations of the dialogue of the actors in the original videos contributed to their popularity. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Due to his fame among Nico Nico Douga users, [[Billy Herrington]] sometimes [[Billy Herrington's tours|visits]] Japan and some nearby countries to meet with his fans. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Japan is also the most likely home country of the fictional city of [[Shinnippori]]. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> == Trivia == </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * Japan also has its own forms of fighting sports, known as martial arts. Other than sumo [[wrestling]], it also has aikido, karate, and judo. * There is an actual city in Japan known as "[[Anthony Stone|Obama]]" (小浜), located north of Kyoto in the west-central part of Honshu island. Its name means "little beach". * "IKZO" (mentioned in [[Billy Herrington's Speech]]) is a nickname for the Japanese singer-songwriter, Ikuzou '''Yoshi''' ('''吉'''幾三). One of his songs, "I'll Go To Tokyo" (俺ら東京さ行ぐだ, Ora Toukyou sa Igu da), became a popular remixed music video meme in Nico Nico Douga. ** Ikuzou Yoshi was born at Goshogawara-shi, Aomori Prefecture (五所川原市, 青森県), located at northern Honshu near the island of Hokkaido. It is not a small village, but a city. ** "IKZO" also sounds similar to "Iku zo" (行くぞ), which means "Let's go". * The word "東狂" (toukyou) is used in some Japanese Gachimuchi sources as the neighbourhood for Shinnippori. It is a pun on Tokyo's name, and it means "eastern madness". </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> == See also == </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * [[Glossary (Japanese)]] ** [[Nico Nico Douga Tag Glossary]] * [[Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling Soramimi|Soramimi]] * [[United States of America|United States]] </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> == External links Edit == </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * [[wikipedia:Japan|Wikipedia page on Japan]] </div> [[Category:Locations]] Cookies help us deliver our services.
