2週間ニュースから10日本語の言葉
For the two weeks from 21 September 2015 through 2 October 2015 I extracted 10 Japanese technology and telecommunications terms from press releases and articles from Fujitsu, Hitachi, Nokia, NTT Communications, and the Wall Street Journal. Only 1 of the 10 terms has a kanji character, 1 is a mix of katakana and Roman characters, and 8 are written only with katakana.
