which asian country has two writing systems plus an additional writing system broken down into two syllabaries but only one spoken language?
singapore
the contemporary japanese language uses two syllabaries together called kana, namely hiragana and katakana, which were developed around 700. because japanese uses mainly cv (consonant + vowel) syllables, a syllabary is well suited to write the language. as in many syllabaries, vowel sequences and final consonants are written with separate glyphs, so that both "atta" and "kaita" are written with three kana: あった ("a-t-ta") and かいた ("ka-i-ta"). it is therefore sometimes called a "moraic" writing system.

writing systems are distinguished from other possible symbolic communication systems in that a writing system is always associated with at least one spoken language. in contrast, visual representations such as drawings, paintings, and non-verbal items on maps, such as contour lines, are not language-related. some symbols on information signs, such as the symbols for male and female, are also not language related, but can grow to become part of language if they are often used in conjunction with other language elements. some other symbols, such as numerals and the ampersand, are not directly linked to any specific language, but are often used in writing and thus must be considered part of writing systems.
