Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.02 sec. |
Japanese writing systemSystem of modified Chinese characters used for writing the Japanese language. The Japanese developed a mixed system, partly logographic (based on the Chinese writing system) and partly syllabic.

Modern Japanese is written with the two syllabaries and Chinese characters. How to thank TFD for its existence?
