The map is for a culture I designed which has Japanese flavors to it. The style I intended for the city itself is based on 1880's company towns in the United States. The society that lives in my city is a custom made one with a mixture of cultural influences. I have made part of the language using a system that combines lettlers, but it's too complex to describe easily. Many of the words sound Japanese when I started putting root words together and began to make the language for the society my maps are for.
