The Chinese word 日语 (rìyǔ) for "Japanese language" is composed of two characters: 日 (rì) and 语 (yǔ). The character 日 means "sun" and is often used to refer to Japan, which is known as the "Land of the Rising Sun". The character 语 means "language" or "speech". Together, the two characters 日语 literally mean "Japanese language".The term 日语 is commonly used in Mandarin Chinese to refer to the Japanese language. It is also used in other Chinese dialects, such as Cantonese, where it is pronounced as "yat yu". The term 日本语 (rìběnyǔ) is also sometimes used to refer to the Japanese language, especially in formal or literary contexts.
