	Japanese Language Education In Russia Japanese language education in Russia formally dates back to December 1701 or January 1702, when Dembei, a shipwrecked Japanese merchant, was taken to Moscow and ordered to begin teaching the language as soon as possible. A 2006 survey by the Japan Foundation found 451 teachers teaching the language to 9,644 students at 143 institutions; the number of students had grown by 4.8% since the previous year. Aside from one Japanese-medium school serving Japanese people in Russia (the Japanese School in Moscow, founded in 1965), virtually all Japanese language education in Russia throughout history has been aimed at non-native speakers. As of 2021, according to the Japan Foundation, 12,426 people were learning Japanese in Russia.

	Cyrillization Of Japanese The cyrillization of Japanese is the process of transliterating or transcribing the Japanese language into Cyrillic script in order to represent Japanese proper names or terms in various languages that use Cyrillic, as an aid to Japanese language learning in those languages or as a potential replacement for the current Japanese writing system. This can be done in an ad hoc fashion (e.g. when "sushi" is transliterated as "" in Russian Cyrillic) or using one of a number of systems. There are a number of cyrillization systems used by different Cyrillic alphabet-based languages, such as: * The standard and most widely used system for cyrillization into Russian Cyrillic is known as the Polivanov system, named after the Russian and Soviet linguist Yevgeny Polivanov. One of the most arguable questions in this system is a representation of , and into "си" (si), "ти" (ti) and "дзи" (dzi) respectively. * The standard and most widely used (for example, in publications of Taras ...

picture info	Japanese People In Russia Japanese people in Russia form a small part of the worldwide community of ''Nikkeijin'', consisting mainly of Japanese people, Japanese expatriates and their descendants born in Russia. They count various notable political figures among their number. Early settlement The first Japanese people, Japanese person to settle in Russia is believed to have been Dembei, a fisherman stranded on the Kamchatka Peninsula in 1701 or 1702. Unable to return to his native Ōsaka due to the Tokugawa Shogunate's ''sakoku'' policy, he was instead taken to Moscow and ordered by Peter I of Russia, Peter the Great to begin teaching the language as soon as possible; he thus became the father of Japanese language education in Russia. Japanese settlement in Russia remained sporadic, confined to the Russian Far East, and also of a largely unofficial character, consisting of fishermen who, like Dembei, landed there by accident and were unable to return to Japan. However, a Japanese trading post is known to h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
