Chinese documents from the 3rd century AD have recorded a few Japanese words, but texts appeared only after the 8th century. The Chinese language was the major language in Japan during the Heian period. The vocabulary and phonology of Old Japanese are influenced by the Chinese language. Late Middle Japanese is closer to the modern Japanese language. Japanese has a few similarities with the English language.
