The Japanese language has absorbed a large number of foreign words from various other languages: Chinese (along with kanji) in the 6^th to 9^th centuries, Portuguese in the 16^th century, and English after World War II. Today, 80 percent of loanwords are English and written in katakana. Examples include: maikaa (my car), taimingu (timing), konpyuutaa (computer), supiido (speed), and rasshu awaa (rush hour). English words that come from Japanese vocabulary include: tsunami, futon, sushi, judo, karate, karaoke, and honcho.
