Proper noun
en-proper noun

1. uncountable the main language spoken in Japan.

#: I�ve been studying Japanese for three years, and I still can�t order pizza in Kyoto!

1. countable a person living in or coming from Japan.

#: A Japanese will typically have black hair, brown eyes, and pale skin.
#* Note: this can also refer to someone of Japanese ancestry. Less frequently, someone of Japanese ancestry living in another country will be referred to by a similar pairing�e.g., Japanese-Taiwanese or Japanese-British.
#* Note: many people object to the usage of this sense in singular form, and it is now more frequent to see a person in or from Japan referred to by using the adjective Japanese. Rather than "a Japanese," you will frequently see "a Japanese person."
