Greater China, Japan, and Korea, the so-called [Sinosphere]

(漢字文化圈;

literally: "Chinese character cultural sphere"),

have borrowed many concepts through Sinoxenic vocabularies from the West

since the modern era.  Some of them have their own translations,

but some have imported translations from neighboring countries.

In some translations, both native and foreign stems are combined.

As a result, Sinosphere countries share a lot of words,

but to some extent they have their own parts.

And this is no different in computer science translations.



This page contains comparison tables of how computer science terms,

mostly derived from English, are translated and called in

different regions of Sinosphere.

Introduction

------------



### Cognates



Cognates are words that are derived from one side or share a common

etymology.



For example, the English word computer and the Korean word

컴퓨터 (keompyuteo), the Japanese word

計算科学 (keisan kagaku) and the Chinese word

計算科學 (jìsuàn kēxué), that

are both meaning computational science, are cognates.



Cognates are indicated by the same colored border.



### Calque (loan translation)



Calque is a word or phrase borrowed from another language by literal

word-for-word or root-for-root translation.



For example, the Chinese word 軟件 (ruǎnjiàn) is a translation

of the English word software, which translates the English words

soft → 軟 (ruǎn; *soft* or *flexible*) and ware →

件 (jiàn; *clothes* or *item*) respectively.



Matching words/roots between languages in this way are underlined

with the same color & shape.



### Homophonic translations



For a root transcribed from a foreign word,

the original word is displayed on the root.



For example, as the Japanese word コンピュータ (konpyu-ta)

is a transcription of English word computer, it is displayed like:

コンピュータcomputer.



### Romanized pronunciation



The pronunciation of each word is shown in Latin letters in parentheses

below the word.  The transcription system for each language is as follows:



Mandarin (China & Taiwan)

:   [Hanyu Pinyin]



Cantonese (Hong Kong)

:   [Jyutping] (Linguistic Society of Hong Kong Cantonese Romanization Scheme)



Japanese

:   [Hepburn romanization]



Korean

:   [Revised Romanization of Korean][RR] (academic transcription for

    recovering morphophonemic elements[^1])



[^1]: Romanization of Korean.

      National Institute of Korean Language.

      [§ 3.8][Romanization of Korean § 3.8] (Korean).
