The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It has around 123 million speakers, primarily in Japan, the only country where it is the national language, and within the Japanese diaspora worldwide.
- The Japonic family also includes the Ryukyuan languages and the variously classified Hachijō language.
- There have been many attempts to group the Japonic languages with other families such as Ainu, Austronesian, Koreanic, and the now discredited Altaic, but none of these proposals have gained any widespread acceptance.
Why it is Legendary
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Japanese language article was read about 1,100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
How to get Japanese language
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
