Japanese is the national language and the only one really used. However, there are many regional dialects such as the one spoken in Osaka, which sometimes has radically different words than those in standard Japanese.

Writing

Hiragana (ひらがな)- Japan's own original Writing system

Katakana (カタカナ) Another writing system

Kanji (漢字)- Chinese characters used in Japanese

The main language is Japanese. However a lot of people can speak some level of English. Other languages are taught just as they are anywhere in the world ranging from Korean to Spanish.

Japan has no official language, however Japanese is the most widely spoken. Other languages in Japan include: Aynu itak, Ryukyuan languages, and several other dialects of Japanese.

Japanese is the only official language of Japan, though English is widely taught up to high school. Individual Japanese may be fluent in any number of languages, or speak only Japanese. It is entirely variable from person to person.
