EN: Hi guys! Just to let you know that RUclips often restricts comments before I even see them (I have no idea why). If you see your comment has been deleted, don't hesitate to post again! Really sorry about that. FR: Salut les amis! Sachez que RUclips supprime souvent les commentaires avant même que je ne les voie (je ne sais pas pourquoi). Si vous voyez que votre commentaire a disparu, n'hésitez pas à le reposter ! Merci d'avoir regardé !🙂
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.
Thank you for reposting your comment!! Indeed, RUclips is often restricting comments on my channel for some reason (I see random numbers but no visible comment...) 🥲🥲I really appreciate your taking the time to post again! ❤️ I hope you can see this comment...
@@idsnow That's totally ok! I understand :) Thank you for taking the time to let me know. That's really annoying. And I have no idea how to stop YT from keeping doing this to my channel.

Oui, je trouve cette partie de l'histoire de la langue japonaise très intéressante aussi :) Merci pour ton commentaire.

An Introduction to Kambun, by Sydney Crawcour, is available on the net.
wait what about the katakana?? i thought you were gonna explain about that too by the title.
