Kingdom Hearts Languages

Is kingdom hearts in chinease or japanease for when it first comes out.

 

Erm.. Japanese. It's never in Chinese >_>

 

CRAP!! now im going to have to learn Japanese!!

 

Wow, Um, you do know Japanese is the hardest language in the World?

Fact.


Beacause the Japanese Langauge has over 1,000 letters & symbols you have to memorize.

"Got it memorized?" ~Axel

 

Nope, apparently it's Finish I think. I know for a fact it's one of the scandinavian languages though.

 

It was released by Nomura, so it was in Japan; Likewise, Japanese.

xD

How would anyone know what language in the world that is the hardest to learn ^^
No person in the world knows all the languaes so no one knows what is the hardest ^^

 

Actually, English is probably one of the the hardest languages to learn.

Many of you may not think so since English may have been the first language you were raised up learning, but it's incredibly hard to learn the mechanics of the English language as a second since it's comprised of many different cultures--german, french, italian, etc. Hell, some people have grown up around English all their lives and *still* can't speak it properly.

For the most part, a language like Japanese, has a consistent sentence structure that doesn't deviate too far away from these conventions. As well, it's more primitive than a lot of other languages in the sense that it doesn't have any english equivalent propositions. "Kimi wa saikou" quite literally means "You, best". The 'wa' particle does no more than denote the subject being discussed. But because the English language *needs* propositions for it to make sense to us, translators automatically stick in the missing words to 'complete the puzzles' for us English speakers (i.e. "You *are* *the* best). So in this sense, we actually make the sentence more complicated than it is because English requires more 'detail' in terms of coherent speech. Also good to note that Japanese also doesn't have plural forms.

It's true that trying to memorize over 1000+ characters/symbols can be bothersome, but surely you don't have to know each and every single symbol to have decent conversations that will get you through life in the Japanese culture. When communicating in the Japanese language, it is more important to know "context" and which form to use (respectful forms, honorrifics, etc) than to know every single word/character/symbol. If you want to look at it that way, the English language has 900,000-1,000,000+ words. Now it's easier to say we don't need to know every single word in a language to be quite good at it.

One more thing. I mentioned consistency in structure with Japanese, but there are so many exceptions in the English language that you just have to account for--and in some ways, this *can't* be taught. You can only learn it through immersion.

Example, why is there a 'b' in debt? Why is the 'a' pronounced the way it is in 'scar', but suddenly the 'a' sound changes when you make it 'scare'? Why is the 'e' silent in the word 'scare'? If teachers teach and preachers preach, then if teachers 'taught', how come preachers don't 'praught'? So preachers 'preached', but teachers don't 'teached'?

And then there's contextual exceptions. Besides memorizing it when it's heard in speech, pronounciation changes depending on whether it's a noun or a verb: there's 'wound' as in 'I wound up the bungee cord' or 'wound' as in 'I got a wound from soccer the other day'. And then even so, sometimes the pronunciation stays the same but mean different things! "It's too much to 'bear'", as opposed to "I saw a bear."

Of course, it would be ignorant to label this as a 'fact'; I still proclaim it to be 'probably' the hardest--if not, one of the most. But I can say that it is plenty-fold harder than the Japanese language.

Now to deviate away from that bogus spam, I do believe there is a released Chinese version of the first Kingdom Hearts--unless my memory doesn't recall correctly. Either that, or that Chinese flag I saw on the box was denoting region rather than language.

 

Whoa... youre dead wrong on that. im european and i think english is by far the easiest language in the world.

 

Where're you from, Ilikekeyblades? England? Hopefully not. Tell that to the all the struggling Chinese and Japanese people out there who're trying to learn English. Just because you, in particular, found it easy, doesn't quite justify making English the easiest language in the world.

Overall, I think you've missed my point, but I won't debate that in this thread.

 

Yes, you are 100% off-topic.

All KH and Square Enix games are from Japan.
