you have not bumped into assembly have you? those are not even words or phrases ..

and japanese is far from dying. all people in the island of Japan speaks the language and only a handful speaks English ( relative to the native speakers )

im not sure where you got your data, but most product in Japan are all in Japanese , Kanji to be exact.. some are even written in old version of the Kanji.. true there are products which are written in Katakana but that's because they are not of japanese origin or they just want it in katakana

i don't think the language would be dying anytime soon...
