If language is a sign for anything.

Chinese created the Chinese language, taught it to the Koreans, then the Koreans taught it to the Japanese.

Japanese made the Kana, because they couldn't keep up with Kanji. Then the Koreans also decided to make their own thing, probably out of nationalism. Then even the Chinese simplified their language, only the Taiwanese and HongKongese chose not to, just to spite China.

I'm just wondering where Korean influence is when it is rather obvious to me that all the influence came from China as the op also suggest.

So whenever a Korean wants Japan to acknowledge it's so called major cultural roots from Korea, I find this ironic

The Koreans did teach language to the Japanese though. Even my Japanese teacher told me that.

Hangul was invented in the 15th century to boost literacy and so they could have something to call their own. It's a phonetic alphabet anyway, so it's easy like all the western languages.

Well you better start fucking looking because Ceramics is a big one - the oldest ceramic artisans in Japan can all trace their heritage back to Korean artisans.

China traditionally didn't want anything to do with Japan, which were known to be pirates that razed sea towns to kidnap people for the slave trade. For trade, Japan always had to go through Korea like how Israel has to always go through Lebanon.

If you learn Japanese history, a majority of their strife with Korea and China have to do with opening ports for trade vs their nasty habit of piracy.

Did you just ignore the fact that every east asian language is tonal.

Also have I no idea where you pulled 6000 from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_phonology

When you are talking about just reading words, you can figure out how to pronounce a word by how it's written, if you know the rules. Just like hangul.

They are different to say Chinese, where the way a character is written does not really clue you in on how to pronounce it.

IGNORANCE: THE THREAD

The Culture of Korea is mostly from the Chinese, as is the Japanese culture. There's a reason the Far East is also called the sinosphere.

Japanese gaining Chinese culture came in waves. The first wave was the Korean and Chinese immigration to Japan, which started the Yayoi period where they pretty much dominated the Jomon civilization that came before it.

Then during the Qin Dynasty the Qin Emperor sent out a colony to Japan. That colony taught the Japanese how to farm and anything else they taught can only be guessed at.

Then during the Tang Dynasty actual Japanese people went to China to learn from them. That's when the Japanese got most of their historical culture. From Sword Making, hairstyles, architecture, Tea ceremony, writing system and all that shit.

Then during the Song Dynasty they adopted the Chinese warrior culture which in Japan eventually became the Samurai culture.

Like what? The Yayoi culuture was brought on by mass waves of Immigration. The only real argument is if it's from Korea or Korean + China.

The Japanese did meet the Chinese and gain most of their culture during the Tang. The Japanese gained the Warrior class from the Song. What else is "fake"?

The only true Japanese are the indigenous Ainu people who were there for 15,000+ years.

Everyone else is just Korean colonists who mostly arrived in 500BCE bringing wet rice farming and culture to the savage island. The Japanese are too proud to admit this, but their DNA betrays them.

Japan is a relatively young country by Asian standards so it makes sense that all of their culture is appropriated from the mainland.

>"hurrr race is social, not genetic"

Genetic markers have been used by anthropologists for years to study human migration through history.

The Japanese and Koreans are near perfect match. Their next closest match is Han Chinese, followed by Mongolians.

>August 04, 2005 ㅡ The Korean Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced yesterday that Korean people are genetically closer to Japanese people than to Chinese people. The study found that Koreans' DNA is closer to that of Japanese people than that of Chinese. Koreans are genetically closer to Chinese than to Caucasians, and to Caucasians than to Africans, according to the center. The comparison data was provided by TSC, an American research team that collects genetic information and carries out large-scale DNA analyses.

But what do they know...

Put aside genetics...

Why not look at history? Korea began to colonize nearby islands around 500BCE. They brought with them rice farming as well as iron and bronze tools.

Within 50 years Japan went from a stagnant 15,000 year old stone age culture to the sudden emergence of the Yayoi period (who suddenly had bronze, iron, and wet rice farming techniques). Their pottery suddenly went from primitive neolithic jars to more elaborate designs created on pottery wheels.

Denying the Japanese people are Korean colonists would be like denying white people landed on Plymouth rock. "White people never came to America from western Europe. We were always here!"

"but.. but.. slanty eyes!"

White people mixing with Indians produced Shania Twain and Burt Reynolds. Koreans mixing with Ainu tribes created the modern Japanese.
