What does the Japanese alphabet look like?

There are three writing systems (or alphabets) in Japanese: hiragana, katakana and kanji.

All The hiragana are:

あ　い　う　え　お

か　き　く　け　こ

さ　し　す　せ　そ

た　ち　つ　て　と

な　に　ぬ　ね　の

は　ひ　ふ　へ　ほ

ま　み　む　め　も

や　－　ゆ　－　よ

ら　り　る　れ　ろ

わ　－　－　－　を

ã‚“

All the katakana are:

ア　イ　ウ　エ　オ

カ　キ　ク　ケ　コ

サ　シ　ス　セ　ソ

タ 　チ　ツ　テ　ト

ナ　ニ　ヌ　ネ　ノ

ハ　ヒ　フ　ヘ　ホ

マ　ミ　ãƒã€€ãƒ¡ã€€ãƒ¢

ヤ　－　ユ　－　ヨ

ラ 　リ　ル　レ　ロ

ワ　－　－　－　ヲ

ン

Unfortunately there are far too many kanji (more than 3000 in use) to make a chart. However, some common kanji are:

左　自　大　私　人　同　日　中　月　学　愛　冬　火　上　星　名　米　小　楽　美　会　山　神　右
