| | J-List side blog: Japanese language overview: Katakana (the boxy kind) |
| | Today, katakana is used for foreign loan words (like manager, computer, and microprocessor), foreign names (Clinton, Babe Ruth), and occasionally, for funky attention-getting, ala italics in English. | | | Katakana is set up the same as hiragana, with the same features: adding two little quote-marks or a circle to some of the lines changes the pronunciation (HA into BA, and so on), and there are "pairs" of kana that allow you to express words like JA, JU, JO, KYA, KYU, KYO, and so on. | | | Japanese is great for English speakers to learn in one sense because there are so many foreign loan words in use -- I mean, how many other languages use English words like "microprocessor" "memory" "gin and tonic" "sporty panty liner" and so on, in their present forms? |

| | All About Katakana |
| | Each Katakana symbol was derived from a Chinese character in the same way as each Hiragana symbol, except that the Hiragana were simplified from entire characters. | | | Katakana are also used in Japanese for a few other purposes: | | | An early solution was to write the verb stem Kanji smaller than the root character, or to write the phonetic Kanji to the side of the vertical script. |

| | Of the two kana systems, hiragana is more cursive while katakana characters are quite angular. | | | Hiragana and Katakana each consist of 46 signs which originally were kanji but were strongly simplified over the centuries. | | | Around the 9th century, the Japanese developed an own writing system based on syllables: Hiragana and Katakana (together: Kana). |

| | Japanese - hiragana, katakana, kanji, romaji |
| | Chinese characters were also used for their phonetic values to write grammatical elements and these characters were simplified and eventually became two syllabic scripts, hiragana and katakana. | | | Over time a writing system emerged in which Chinese characters were used to write either words borrowed from Chinese or Japanese words with the same or similar meanings. | | | Modern Japanese texts may also include r&, (Roman letters), the standard way of writing Japanese with the Latin alphabet, eimoji (English script), non-Japanese words written in their own script and various symbols known as kigō. |
