In addition to these two indigenous language families, there are significant minorities of ethnic Koreans and Chinese in modern Japan, who respectively constitute approximately 0.5% and 0.4% of the country's population and many of whom continue to speak their respective ethnic language in private contexts. There is also a notable history of use of Classical Chinese as a language of literature and diplomacy in Japan, similar to the status of the Latin Language in medieval Europe, which has left an indelible mark on the vocabulary of the Japanese language. Classical Chinese continues to be a mandatory subject in the curricula of most Japanese Secondary Schools even today. SEE ALSO
