Japanese or Nihongo is native to Japan with about 126 million native speakers. While it holds no official status, it is the de facto national language in Japan and is spoken widely in 26 other countries around the world. Major cities such as London, Paris and New York also has a sizable Japanese expat population.
The “Land of the Rising Sun” attracts millions of tourists every year to its major cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka as well as the countryside and other attractions such as Mt. Fuji.
In the UK, there were 37,535 Japan-born people living in the UK in 2011, as per the UK Census. The following year, the estimates from the Japanese government showed some 50,684 Japanese nationals residing in the UK.
The 2011 Census showed that there were 35,043 people of Japanese ethnicity in England and Wales, 1,245 in Scotland and 90 in Northern Ireland. The same census also showed that Japanese is the main language spoken by 27,764 in England and Wales – 17,050 of them were in London alone.
These numbers have continued to increase, and so has the need for qualified Japanese translators and interpreters for Japanese interpretation services.
