は (ha, pronounced "wa") is a particle for a topic and が (ga) is used for identification. For example, 学生は誰ですか (gakusei ha dare desu ka) vs 誰が学生ですか (dare ga gakusei desu ka), they would both mean "Who is a student" but the emphasis is changed. The first example emphasizes students as a topic and the second emphasizes student as an identification

In Japanese, "wa" marks the topic of a sentence, indicating what the sentence is about, whereas "ga" marks the subject of a sentence, indicating who is performing the action. "Wa" is more general and can be used to make broad statements, while "ga" is more specific and emphasizes the subject.

Where is Romaji spoken?

Romaji isn't actually a spoken language. It's a form of romanization of the Japanese language. The spoken language is still Japanese, even if the writing system is different (kanji, hiragana, katakana, romaji).Romaji is calledローマ字 (roomaji) in Japanese, and refers to the transliteration of the written Japanese language into the latin alphabet. Example: 私はロシア語が話せる becomes "watashi wa roshiago ga hanaseru".
