What does the Japanese alphabet look like?

Answer 1

There are three writing systems (or alphabets) in Japanese: hiragana, katakana and kanji.

All The hiragana are:

あ　い　う　え　お

か　き　く　け　こ

さ　し　す　せ　そ

た　ち　つ　て　と

な　に　ぬ　ね　の

は　ひ　ふ　へ　ほ

ま　み　む　め　も

や　－　ゆ　－　よ

ら　り　る　れ　ろ

わ　－　－　－　を

ã‚“

All the katakana are:

ア　イ　ウ　エ　オ

カ　キ　ク　ケ　コ

サ　シ　ス　セ　ソ

タ 　チ　ツ　テ　ト

ナ　ニ　ヌ　ネ　ノ

ハ　ヒ　フ　ヘ　ホ

マ　ミ　ム　メ　モ

ヤ　－　ユ　－　ヨ

ラ 　リ　ル　レ　ロ

Unfortunately there are far too many kanji (more than 3000 in use) to make a chart. However, some common kanji are:

左　自　大　私　人　同　日　中　月　学　愛　冬　火　上　星　名　米　小　楽　美　会　山　神　右

Answer 4

Japanese writing consists of 'hiragana', 'katakana' and 'kanji'.

Hiragana and katakana are more like what we call 'alphabet' but unlike English and many other languages they don't have separate vowels and consonants, instead their consonants together with each of vowels 'a, i, u, e, o' make a different letter.

They call their table of letters 五十音 (go juu on), meaning 'the fifty sounds', in which the 10 main consonants in Japanese (in order : k, s, t, n, h ,m ,y ,r ,w , n)

are combined with the 5 vowels mentioned above, with the exception of 'n' (the only actual consonant in Japanese) and 'y' and 'w'. So both hiragana and katakana have 46 basic characters. (the five vowels) + (ka, ki, ku, ke, ko ...., n)
