jaystreete, the reason why majority don't believe your source of info is simply its not true. have no idea where you got the info, but plz spend time to balance out other source of infos. japanese language shares many words wtih koreans, but also with other east asian languages. the ancient japanese language before the influence of chinese is very unique and a lot closer to other pacific islanders.

actually, Japan's people originate from Korea, not from China. The introduction of Chinese symbols and words was a recent thing in the past few hundreds of years. In fact, it is Koreans and Japanese who have more in common ancestor-wise. Though the close proximity of the regions created trading routes and thus a mixing and blending of cultures.

I wish there was a Go club near where I live.. Then again, I can make my own, but that would be a lot of work. *sigh*
