Language
Modern Japanese has always had significant commercial and cultural relevance. Japanese is such a fluid language, there is such a great level of flexibility within. Despite being considered linguistically isolated, the Japanese Language is has been immensely and rapidly influenced and permanently altered by a variety of Indo-European languages and Chinese. Aka 'The Borrower of Languages', Japanese contains a lot of loanwords not just from China but also English, German, Dutch & French. Slowly but surely over the centuries, the Japanese has slowly amalgamated words and concepts from nations all over the world.
