N2 is the level named in many Japanese work-visa routes — see what changed and what N2 actually requires.

The JLPT doesn’t publish an official vocabulary list. This one follows the community groupings built from the JMdict/EDICT dictionary project and pre-2010 test specifications, with kana readings from the JmdictFurigana project. Word counts: N5 684 · N4 640 · N3 1,717 · N2 1,777 · N1 3,427.
