Hiragana is the basis of the Japanese language.
In this issue, we will introduce hiragana.

１、Japanese vowels and consonants

This is a table of Hiragana.
The Japanese language has five vowels, "aiueo".
Consonants are basically "k-, s-, t-, n-, h-, m-, y-, r-, w-" and other sounds combined with vowels. There are also sounds that do not require vowels.

🚨The sound for "し" is "shi" in the Hepburn system.
🚨The sound for "ち" is "chi" in the Hepburn system.
🚨The sound for "つ" is "tsu" in the Hepburn system.
🚨The sound for "ふ" is "fu" in the Hepburn system.

🚨In Hepburnian romanization, ”m” is used when the "ん" is followed by a b, m, or p sound.
