There are approximately 130 million speakers of Japanese worldwide --- 128 million in Japan, 1.3 million in Brazil, 670,000 in the US, and 80,000 in Peru. The Japanese language is an intriguing mixture of linguistic elements --- multiple systems of written symbols linked to different socio-cultural functions, several levels of politeness forms, and a rich sound system intimately connected to the poetic-dramatic-literary arts.
