"Early Middle Japanese (\u4E2D\u53E4\u65E5\u672C\u8A9E, ch\u016Bko nihongo) is a stage of the Japanese language used between 794 and 1185, a time known as the Heian Period. It is the successor to Old Japanese. It is also known as Late Old Japanese, but the term \"Early Middle Japanese\" is preferred, as it is closer to Late Middle Japanese (after 1185) than to Old Japanese (before 794)."@en .
