How to Use this
Table:
The Japanese alphabet is not made up like the English alphabet. It uses
characters to represent sounds rather than individual letters. However,
they do use vowels like we do.
English = A E I O U (we say: Ay, ee, eye, owe, you)
Japanese = A I U E O (They say Ah, ee, ooh, eh, owe)
More on pronounciation HERE.
The table below follows the Japanese vowel order. (ex. a,i,u,e,o ...ha,
hi, hu,he, ho..ect)
To find a specific sound..say like "ko"..go down to the "K"
row and follow it over to the "O" column.
I've put "alt Tags" on all the letters so all you have to
do is hold your mouse over the character for a sec and the phoenetic
sound should pop up.
Some letters are blank...like YE...there is no set character for the
sound YE. It is made up of a combination of Hirigana characters that
will produce the sound. These are made by placing a smaller version
of the "y" sounds next to a larger character...example CHO
is "CHI" + small "yo" . JA is "JI" + small
"ya"...ect.
