  • Each Hiragana letter represents particular syllable. Letter itself has no meaning.

  • Hiragana is used widely to form a sentence.

  • Hiragana was developed in the 8-10th century by simplifying the form of particular Kanji symbols

  • Katakana is one of three characters used in the Japanese language.

  • Katakana is a phonetic alphabet - each letter represents the sound of a syllable (like English ABC). Letter itself has no meaning.

  • Katakana and Hiragana represent exactly the same set of sounds.

  • Katakana is used mostly for foreign loan words.

  • Katakana was developed in the 8th century by simplifying the form of Kanji symbols.

  • Many of Katakana letters look exactly the same as a part of its original Kanji.

KANJI:

  • Pronunciation and usage of Kanji have been modified to fit the Japanese language.

  • Additionally, some Kanji letters were developed in Japan.

ROMAJI:

  • Romaji was developed to describe the sound of Japanese in Roman alphabet.

  • Romaji is mainly used for the convenience of foreigners who are not familiar with Japanese characters.
