    Japanese Alphabet: Hiragana

    Japanese has two kinds of alphabet, Hiragana and Katakana. Hiragana is used when we have no Japanese characters (Kanji) for the words or we don't remember the right Kanji. Katakana is used mainly for foreign names. Basically, Japanese has only five vowels, a, i, u, e, o. In connection with consonants, k, s, t, n, h (or f) m, y, we have 48 alphabet.
