Chapter Two - Katakana - A Form of Romanji!


カタカナ

Katakana is mainly used for foreign words such as names and words that have been borrowed from other languages such as
コンピューター (kompyu-ta- = computer). The Japanese language does not have as many sounds as the English language so, when creating a name in Katakana for instance, the name must be sound out to the closest Japanese equivalent. Katakana, Hiragana, and Furigana (when Hiragana is written small next to a Kanji character to show how that character is read) are collectively known as Kana.
