The title is self-explanatory.

All languages feature a word or suffix meaning 'later', as in the English. In the case of Chinese and Japanese, the same etymological form is used, in Chinese (read hòu, Simplified form ), -go in Japanese. Vietnamese uses the native form sau with the same meaning and usage.
