Papa Japanese is a simplified form of the Japanese language developed in 2002 by linguist Charles R. Tokoyama to make it easier for non-native speakers to learn. It has become increasingly popular due to its simplified grammar rules and easy pronunciation.

Commonly used phrases include "Ohayou gozaimasu" (Good morning), “Konnichiwa” (Hello), “Arigatou gozaimasu” (Thank you), “Sumimasen” (Excuse me/I'm sorry).
