Japanese is the official language of Japan, which has a population of over 125 million. There are also around 2.5 million people of Japanese origin, many of whom speak Japanese as their first language, living in Brazil and the rest of the Americas, particularly the United States, London, New York and Paris.
Japanese is not directly related to any other language. It is one of the major languages, which still puzzle historical linguists. Japanese and neighboring Korean are similar in grammar. It is measured as a segregate language and relatively easy for Korean to learn.
