Question

How do japanese say Japan in their own language?

Answer 1

日本 - NI-HON (literally sun-root, in other words 'land of the rising sun')

日本語 - NI-HON-GO is 'Japanese language'

日本人 - NI-HON-JIN is 'Japanese person'

Sometimes, 'NI-HON' can be pronounced as 'NIPPON' (with a slight pause between the Ps). This pronunciation is used mainly in formal contexts.

Answer 3

Comment: I wonder how English translated the Japanese words Nippon or Nihon to mean the country of Japan. If Japanese people refer to themselves as Ni-hon-jin, how/why then do English speaking (or other language speaking) refer the country/people in different names?

I'm sure Donald Trump's family thought him strange for being so interested in numbers, Steven Speilberg's parents for filming everything, Mozart's for his fixation with music, etc. Curiousity and interest is what makes a person more well-rounded and worldly. The acquiring of new information makes a person more intersting to other people, gives them more to add to a conversation, and possibly enables them to spark someone else's interest to learn something new. Good for you! Keep exploring your interests. Who knows, one day you may grow up to be an Ambassador in Japan, a businessman fluent in Japanese with huge business in Japan markets, or whatever. Keep your interests flowing and don't let anyone discourage you from it.

Answer 5

Japanese call own language as Nihon-go (日本語). 　
Nihon-go means "Japanese language" in Japanese language.
nihon (日本）= Japan
go(語) = language

But in some case, "koku-go" (国語）is used instead, and nihon-go is not used. "Koku-go" means ”national language”.

For example, koku-go is the word which is commonly used as the subject name of Japanese language at school (elementary school, junior high school, and etc.) in Japan.
And "koku-go jitten" means Japanese dictionary (Japanese- Japanese dictionary)
