what do you mean kana, you mean katakana as thats what they use fro american words, and then there is hiragana which is for traditional japanese.

Heh. It seems you feel you know everything. Katakana is not just for american words. Katakana was developed for proper pronunciations of chinese texts between 9th-14th Century.
I'm not Japanese. I did spend some time living there when I was young. It was easier for me to grasp the language. I'm of North Indian decent and strangely my native tongue and japanese share many similarities in language. The grammer structure, a few words or the way the words sound. I don't know why they are so similar although the origin of my language derives from Sanskrit. Its an ancient language that is no longer practiced however there are some South Indian languages who still have firm hold on Sanskrit such as Tamil. I've read some articles about the similarities between Tamil and Japanese, you can google them. There are many influences of the language in other southeast asian countries. In architecture, language. Although much of asia share similar customs and traditions but ofcourse there will always be differences. I don't know, history doesn't tell us much.
Anyway
The written part I've never been able to properly grasp.
Hiragana and Katakana are collectively regarded as Kana. Both of the character sets represent the same sounds, Katakana is often used for "borrowed" words. Like Labo, Pasukon, hoteru etc.
I haven't had much time to study kanji, I've always been busy, I just know a few, not enough to read the paper.

That's traditional Chinese, it means "No enemy under the sky" or "unbeatable" if you well. Japanese were originally Chinese whom migrated to modern day Japan in Tong dynasty then later declared independence. This is why tradition Japanese writting is pretty much Chinese.
 
To tell you the truth, if people want to learn the history of Japanese language they would search of it them selfs. So i dont think there is a need for people to change the topic and make it into a history lesson.

ok yea kana is both of them collectively, i think i learned that first year just couldnt remember, also i don't know everything and i figured by saying katakana is for american words everyone would get it, i didnt feel like typing out all the countries they use words from in katakana, but actually alot of them are american.

Is that why the Chinese called the Japanese Jifung (sp?), which means short person (people)? I don't think that you're Japanese history is acurate. From my studies of Japanese lunguage and history I have learned that the Japanese did not have a written language until the Chinese came over to Japan. Then the Japanese adopted the Chinese written language. Japanese don't even look like Chinese (face, height, etc.).

BTW that Kanji I had to do in photoshop myself and I did it really fast so once again I apologize for the slopiness.
