Japanese is the principal language of the
Japonic language family spoken by the
Japanese people. It has around 120 million speakers, primarily in
Japan, the only country where it is the
national language, and within the
Japanese diaspora worldwide.
The Japonic family also includes the
Ryukyuan languages and the variously classified
Hachijō language. There have been many
attempts to group the Japonic languages with other families such as the
Ainu,
Austronesian,
Koreanic, and the now-discredited
Altaic, but none of these proposals have gained any widespread acceptance.
