Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about Man’yōgana and how it allowed writers to represent indigenous Japanese words using a specific script.
Option 1: Sanskrit letters. While Sanskrit has its own script traditions, Man’yōgana did not rely on Sanskrit; it used a different writing system to render Japanese sounds, so this is incorrect for describing Man’yōgana.
Option 2: Sumerian cuneiforms. Cuneiform is an ancient Mesopotamian script, not used by Japanese poets for Man’yōgana, making this choice inaccurate in the context of how Man’yōgana functioned.
Option 3: Egyptian hieroglyphs. Hieroglyphs originate from Egypt and were not the basis for Man’yōgana’s phonetic rendering of Japanese, so this option is not correct.
Option 4: Inca quipus. Quipus are a system of knotted cords used for record-keeping in the Inca world, not a script for representing phonetic Japanese sounds, hence it is incorrect.
Option 5: Chinese characters. Man’yōgana used Chinese characters (kanji) for their phonetic values to represent Japanese sounds, enabling the writing of indigenous words; this is the accurate description of how Man’yōgana functioned.
