27 Newsgroups and the fj. hierarchy (news:sci.lang.japan)




Description

This article is from the Japanese FAQ, by TANAKA Tomoyuki tanaka@cs.indiana.edu and Olaf Meeuwissen olaf@IMSL.shinshu-u.ac.jp with numerous contributions by others.

27 Newsgroups and the fj. hierarchy (news:sci.lang.japan)

The fj.* hierarchy can be thought of as the Japanese version of
Usenet. For example, <news:fj.sci.lang> discusses pretty much
the same kind of topics as <news:sci.lang> but in Japanese. One
exception is <news:fj.life.in-japan> which is basically in
English and deals with topics foreigners may encounter when liv-
ing in Japan.

Apart from the above groups, some other groups deal with
language, Japan and Japanese as well. People interested more in
linguistics and translation than in Japanese may find something
of their liking in <news:sci.lang> or
<news:sci.lang.translation>. If you are looking for more culture
oriented news, try <news:soc.culture.japan> or
<news:soc.culture.japan.moderated> if you find the former a bit
too flame infested.

Some miscellaneous Japan related groups:
* <news:comp.research.japan>
* <news:alt.japanese.text>
* <news:alt.japanese.misc>
