However, in Europe, the term Kizoku (Nobility in English, Noblesse in French, and Adel in German) covers emperors, kings, and princes as well, and there is no terminology in which Imperial families and royal families are differentiated from Kizoku.
しかしながら、西洋では貴族（英：Nobility、仏：Noblesse、独：Adel）という語の中には、皇帝、国王、王子なども含まれ、それゆえ、皇族、王族と貴族を区別するという用語法はない。
