no evolutionary relationship? are you kidding, look at your fucking eyes, they're both slanty unlike anyone else's. The Japanese came from Korea, who of course in turn came from China. Further China and Japan have been interacted for millenia.

Yes, the Greek alphabet is different, yet I can read 75% of their letters and could even decipher a huge amount of their vocabulary because of similarities. Latin even more so. Ethiopian is a modern language and sort of has nothing to do with this convo.

Unfortunately, despite the few similar characters I've gotten it on better advice that you're wrong, and mostly the languages are not as easily translated as you suggested. One could not read a Chinese website knowing only Japanese. Whereas I do just fine on spanish and french websites.
