日语是主要在日本列岛上被大和族也就是日本人所使用的语言，其他国家较少使用。日语的起源争议比较大，虽然日文也用汉字，但学术界的主流观点并不认为日语与汉语同源。与汉语相比，日语无卷舌、仅有高低调、主音（或元音）少，从发音角度来说，是相对简单的语言。

Japanese is a language spoken mainly in the Japanese islands by the Yamato ethnic group, that is, the Japanese people, and is less used in other countries. The origin of Japanese is controversial. Although Japanese also uses Chinese characters, the mainstream view in academia does not believe that Japanese and Chinese are homologous. Compared with Chinese, Japanese is a relatively simple language from a pronunciation point of view because it has no rhotic tongue, only a high and low tone, and few main sounds (or vowels).

日语只有5个元音，事实上，以AL的标准来看，日语只用到4个主音：a、i、e、o，日语罗马字的u以AL的观点其实是做主音的兼音w；日语用到的分音包括：b、p、d、t、g、k、z、q、s及zqs的一变音zʹ、qʹ、sʹ；日语用到的兼音包括：做为主音的w、n及其一变音nʹ、m和作为分音的j、l、h、n、m。总共只有23个音元素，而且这些音元素均属于基本发音。
