Sussing throughout the years :
Japanese MIGHT be related to Korean, and they MIGHT be related to Mongol, and they MIGHT be related to Indo-European, but we don't know.

We do however know their predecessors, the Yayoi, migrated from the south korean coast in a time where proto-korean tounges did already exist. One could therefore make an educated guess Proto-korean

It has to be in some way since they use characters to write as well as different tones to give words different meanings

lol their "Japanese" now is not related to Chinese but they used to write in Chinese if you look at their historical texts. Chinese ppl can still make out their Kanji bc it's literally Chinese.
