@huggablysoft @mushi Even English (as complicated as it is) is a bit more simple than Japanese. We don't have characters representing speech sounds at all. We simply just have letters that we combine to make words. English, by far, has the longest words since we essentially have to combine several letters just to make a simple one syllable word. Like the word "Spare". It's 5 letters, where as in some Asian languages it's just two or three letters long.
