Answer:

Language is any means of communication, whether spoken or written. ... This came about in the latter half of the Meiji era, 1868-1912, when written and spoken language was being unified during the Genbun itchi movement. Since Japan is an archipelago of over six thousand islands, various dialects have developed.Jul 20, 2011
