While certain concepts are simplified (very few real plurals, for instance), the grammar is essentially in reverse order compared to English, and both the words and wording are often grounded in concepts that are either different or entirely external to the English language.

- Little is known of the language's prehistory, or when it first appeared in Japan. Chinese documents from the 3rd century recorded a few Japanese words, but substantial texts did not appear until the 8th century.
