How
This video provides a short overview of the role women played in the development of the #Japanese language during the #Heian Period, taking the court diaries written in #hiragana or "#onnade" as its main historical approach.
This is quite different from the videos I've made till now. But I hope you'll find it interesting!
All original drawings by me.
Photos taken from illustrations fallen into the public domain.
The Nikki and Monogatari presented in the video:
The Tosa Diary - #土佐日記
The Pillow Book - #枕草子
The Tale of Genji - 源氏物語

Oui, je trouve cette partie de l'histoire de la langue japonaise très intéressante aussi :) Merci pour ton commentaire.
I had a look at your other videos, and I really love what you do, this is the content I need ! I have a question for you, do you have some resources in french or english teaching kanbun ? I can read some japanese, but not to the level where I can understand technical explanations about grammar, yet I really want to acquire at least some basic practical knowledge about the topic. Rouzer's Primer of Literary Chinese includes kanbun reading for all the texts, but it doesn't try to explain how those were arrived at. Good luck with your future work !

Hey Billy. Thank you for your lovely comment. Unfortunately, I do not know any resources that teach kanbun. I am learning modern standard Japanese and, as long as I have not reached the level of fluency I aim for, I do not intend to dive into kanbun or any other form of classical Chinese texts. I was exploring the origins of hiragana and katakana and came across kanbun through my research unintentionally as I was not even aware of the existence of this system.

All kana derived from manyougana. Katakana were conceived as a shorthand for manyougana rather than an intended simplification of manyougana. At the time, all religious texts were written using only kanji. Monks would indicate the proper reading between the lines. However, most manyougana were complex characters. Consequently, monks started using short hands between the lines, writing only specific strokes of the original character. I am preparing an animation video on this. Thank you for your comment, it encourages me to keep going.

hmm . . . I commented on your video but youtube didn't allow my comment--it didn't appear. Is youtube suppressing me or you? Maybe both. Anyway, great video! If this comment is allowed, maybe I'll try again with a longer one.
