Hiragana Pronunciation
Tap any character to hear it. Characters follow the traditional chart: each row shares a consonant, each column shares a vowel.
Basic Hiragana五十音
The 46 core characters.
Dakuten゛
Two small marks make the consonant voiced: k→g, s→z, t→d, h→b.
Handakuten゜
A small circle on the H-row makes a P sound.
Combinations拗音
An "i" character plus a small ゃ, ゅ, or ょ blends into one syllable.
Tip: The small ゃ ゅ ょ is written about half size. きや is two syllables (ki-ya); きゃ is one (kya).
