In China, Japan is called "Rìběn", which is the Mandarin pronunciation for the characters . The Cantonese pronunciation is "Yahtbún" , the Shanghainese pronunciation is "Zeppen" , and the Hokkien pronunciation is "Ji̍tpún" / "Li̍t-pún". This has influenced the Malay name for Japan, "Jepun", and the Thai word "Yipun" (). The terms "Jepang" and "Jipang", ultimately derived from Chinese, were previously used in both Malay and Indonesian, but are today confined primarily to the Indonesian language. The Japanese introduced "Nippon" and "Dai Nippon" into Indonesia during the Japanese Occupation (1942–1945) but the native "Jepang" remains more common. In Korean, Japan is called "Ilbon" (Hangeul: , Hanja: ), which is the Korean pronunciation of the Sino-Korean name, and in Sino-Vietnamese, Japan is called "Nhật Bản" (also rendered as "Nhựt Bổn"). In Mongolian, Japan is called "Yapon" (Япон).
