Katakana by lalalavigne

The Japanese Katakana Alphabet! >u<
Fun Things:
1: Katakana uses all the same sounds as Hiragana, so the only thing new about this is the Kana (characters), not the sounds.
2: 'Wi' & 'We' are obselete, they aren't used anymore.
3: A bunch of these kana look like they have Sevens in them lol.
4:Katakana is used to translate words not originally from Japan, like computer, or Brad Pitt. Lol.

Where is 'Ti'?
Can you also get characters with little dashes on them that change the sound?

@Jack: That's to add the "Yu" "Ya" & "Yo" sounds. I might do that in another painting.

*coughs* Those dashes you use to change sounds are called Daktens. You don't use them on Ya, Yu, or Yo, but on the Ka's to change it to Ga, Sa to Za (or Ja), Ta to Da, and Ha to Ba. A small circle, called a Handakten, can be placed on the Ha's to change it to Pa.

(sorry, had to. >.<)

@Jack- Yup. When I say Ha's, I refer to the general five symbol group. It's easier than writing out all of them.
