Why can't Japanese and Korean belong to the same language family as Chinese, but Tibetan can?

There is a simple reason. First, Tibetan is the traditional language of ethnic minorities in China, while Japanese is adapted from Chinese characters. As for Korean, it is basically equivalent to the subjective change on the basis of Korean, so it belongs to an independent language family in theory. Second, language and culture can actually represent the history of a nation. Tibetans have a long history, and Japan has its own national history. But Korea is a man-made country, so the language is naturally special. Third, in fact, Chinese has been widely used in South Korea and Japan in history, and even national policies have been promulgated in Chinese.

First of all, let me talk about the concept of language family. The so-called language family means a language system. There are many language families in a language family, and there may be one or more languages under the language family. For example, there is such a Sino-Tibetan language family among the five major language families in China. Below the Sino-Tibetan language family are four major language families, and the first major language family is Chinese. The second largest language family is the Tibeto-Burman family. Tibetan is the largest language in the Tibeto-Burman language family. This language family refers not to words, but to the way of speaking. For example, when we study English, we will find it difficult to make sentences in English. This is because the language systems of Chinese and English are completely different. This is the reason why Chinglish appeared. Actually, we are not the only ones with this problem. One of my foreign classmates also encountered this problem when learning Chinese, and they were all "English-Chinese".

There are many differences between people and animals. For example, humans can use and create tools, but animals can't. But most importantly, people can use language and words, while animals can only use smell and body language. Because of words, human history can be recorded and passed on. All kinds of human knowledge have also been recorded. If you have a careful understanding of history, you will find that language and writing are very related to the history of a nation.

In the course of history, China has gradually formed a sense of national identity. Although Japan and South Korea were once vassals of our country, they did not formally join our country after all. So its language and Chinese can't form a language family. But Tibet has been an inseparable part of China since the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, although Tibetan is very different from Chinese, it still belongs to a dialect in China. For example, a Henan native and a Sichuan native are chatting. Although their languages are different, they all belong to Chinese.

Same. Korean certainly has this problem. Japanese is divided into hiragana and katakana. At first glance, it looks like the initials and finals of Chinese. But in Japanese, hiragana is widely used, and katakana is generally used to describe loanwords. Probably equivalent to our pictophonetic characters. The two are used in combination. But hanyu pinyin is responsible for all the pronunciations in life. But you don't have to write it. Same. Korean certainly has this problem. Japanese is divided into hiragana and katakana.
