[quote=RITA ,24288]QUOTE: If we go back time, say about 2000 yrs ago - imagine the Japanese islands and Korean peninsular were inhabited with people who might have no language of their own. unquoteAt least that's not the case for Japanese, they had their own language, even dating back to more than 2000 years:)), but only spoken language- totally different from the Chinese then. They borrowed[never return, haha] the writing system from China and at the same time learning something new, including something they hadn't had originally. Later, they kept learning from Chinese, cultures, clothes, and architectures, etc... almost everything they didn't have. They are good learners and keep what they learned very well. Imagine, if the Japanese had their writting system of their own at that time, what can we see today? Of course that won't happen.[/quote]
