While I was preparing for the next post, I realized we have two ways of calling our nation in Japanese. Oh My; if I didn't do blogging, I wouldn't have payed attention this differences p;) We normally call our country "Nihon". But Japan '日本' is written "Nippon" in Roman Character for almost all the signs introducing Japan.
*Nihon*
This is the front cover of the book of learning Japanese. Saying "Everyone's Japanese". Nihon-go means 'Japan and language' and in one word "Japanese" for English..
*Nippon*
This is from Wikipedia page which introducing Women's Volleyball team. We can hear the shouts of rooting voice in harmony "Nippon cha-cha-cha" during the game.
Both pronunciations work when describing our country in Japanese. Hope you'd understand the different sounds♪ Here is my former post about Hepburn system writing for more information related this post.
