    There are some other languages that have inconsistent spelling, but most do have some level of consistency yeah, also would character tests in Chinese/Japanese be considered similar to spelling bees?

      Not really. They just have multiple pronunciation depending on which vocabulary they are part of/how they are used grammatically.

      But let me tell you, learning 2000 kanji and vocab they are used in is a pain. Still love 日本語 thought.

        What the heck is a sun truth language, anyways? :)

        I’m in the process now, and you’re definitely not wrong!

          The meanings of the kanji are: sun - origin - language for 日本語

          I’m sure you know this, but kanji have different meanings, and this one refers to Japan being the land of the rising sun.

            Haha, yeah, I was just being silly and having a little fun. :)

            Although, learning all the meanings certainly does get overwhelming at times, especially when combinations of individual kanji characters can have substantially different meanings and readings than they do on their own!

              I tried to change my PC and phone language to Japanese yesterday. I did not last long. It’s seriously hard.
