How to write word "japanese" in hiragana, katakana, kanji?

｢日本語」 - Kanji

Most frequently used for writing " Nihongo " due largely in part to the fact that a set of kanji for this exists and everybody knows what it is. ｢ 日本 ｣ is rarely written in hiragana as it is Japan's name (Nihon) and the only people who don't know its kanji are most likely very, very young. And ｢ 語 ｣ is tacked onto the end of any country's name to indicate the country's language (with an exception being the word for English which is not 「イギリス語」 or　「アメリカ語」　but 「英語」).

In short, since these are simple kanji, it's more mature to use them than it is not to. Honestly, this is one of the first examples you get in most kanji lessons (since both 日 and 木 are very basic kanji), so if you don't use it/know how to write it past the beginner level, a lot of your teachers and classmates won't take your studies seriously.

「にほんご」 - Hiragana

This is used for beginners who don't know the kanji for Japanese yet. Even on beginner level books with titles in Japanese, however, you'll find the kanji being used instead of the hiragana. Most likely, this would come up during a hiragana lesson -or- on a poster/book cover/etc. that is supposed to be cutesy and fun.

｢ニホンゴ｣ - Katakana

This is almost never used. "Nihongo" is not a foreign word (or animal name), so there's no need to consistently write it in katakana. If you ever saw this, it would be in order to emphasize the word "Nihongo" -or- on a poster/book cover/etc. that preferred the katakana stylization to a hiragana version purely for looks.

Hope this helps!

You need to install the Microsoft Global Input Method Editor, available from Microsoft in the link below. Once you have that installed, you can set it into a mode where you type romanji and it fills in katakana, hiragana, or offers kanji options. I haven't used it in a while, but I recall it also had a way for you to sort of "paint" in a character and it would then try to guess a few characters give you a list to pick from (sort of like a spell checker). If you don't have Word, you can also use Wordpad. Wordpad is installed with every copy of windows, and should support the input system. To start Wordpad, go to Start > Programs > Accessories > Wordpad

Nihongo Kanji

in hiragana にほんご

in katakana ニホンゴ

in kanji 日本語

"Nihongo" is "にほんご" (hiragana) "ニホンゴ" (katakana) "日本語" (kanji).

Usually, the kanji version "日本語."

BASICALLY, what can be written in kanji should be written in kanji.
