Japanese language comes from the Korean peninsula

Japanese dialect is brought by farmers migrating from the Korean Peninsula about 2,200 years ago.

This result shows that many Japanese language variants do not appear on their own, as many Japanese people believe is because native hunters and gatherers are present on the peninsula thousands of years ago.

The new study supports the theory that agricultural expansion is the main driver of language diversity in world history.

Japanese is the only major language whose origins are still controversial . Some scholars argue that Japanese and Japanese come directly from the Stone Age culture. They have agricultural cultivation, but most are gatherers and hunters. According to this theory, the migration of people from continental Asia around 200 BC brought metal tools, rice and new farming techniques, but did not have much impact on the development of language at this place.

Some researchers object to the theory that migration from the Korean peninsula has a profound impact on substitution, overwhelming both indigenous people and their spoken language .

DNA and archaeological evidence supports this theory, but researchers at the University of Tokyo still wonder and want to find more clues by tracing the tracks of dozens of different dialects to find strong evidence. The theory of theory above is correct.

To conduct the study, Sean Lee and Toshikazu Hasegama used the technique developed by evolutionary biologists to examine DNA fragments from fossil specimens and create a family tree, traced back millions of years.

Specifically, Lee and Hasegama made a list of 210 key words, indicating body parts, main verbs, numbers and pronouns, and made a similar list for 59 other dialects. Since then, researchers will select words that are unlikely to be borrowed from dialects and ' immune to changes ', which biologists call 'highly conserved' genes, meaning is maintained over thousands of generations. The computer model shows that all of these Japanese languages ​​came from a community of about 2,182 years ago, consistent with the massive migration wave from the Korean peninsula.

The migration time of this farmer group may be earlier, but the core conclusion is that ' the first Japanese farmers have a profound impact on the origin of both people and the language here '.

This study shows that Japanese language and culture develop later on the transitional process of agricultural culture. When China is experiencing one of the most notable cultural and philosophical changes in history with the Spring and Autumn Period, Japan is at a new stage of emergence.

However, the researchers have yet to find out whether migrant farmers carrying rice farming techniques to Japan 2,000 years ago brought with it a written language system.
