Hiragana is the backbone to all Japanese learning. And we’ll give you a hiragana chart and a katakana chart along the way to help you learn. So, for example, arigatou, Japanese for “ thank you”, is typically written ありがとう (a ri ga to u) using hiragana characters, whereas “America” is written アメリカ (a me ri ka) using katakana.īut that'll make more sense once we dive in. Usually, we write native Japanese words using hiragana, while katakana is used for words borrowed from other languages.
The primary difference between this kind of writing system – technically a 'syllabary' – and an 'alphabet'? Characters generally represent a whole sound (like ‘ki’ or ‘ra’), rather than individual letters (like ‘k’ or ‘r’). They’re the closest the Japanese language has to an alphabet. Learning the Bengali alphabet is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation.Hiragana and katakana are two different ways to write the same set of 46 sounds. Without it, you will not be able to say words properly even if you know how to write those words. ণ Nasal sound when the tongue touches a bit away from teeth ঞ Just like ‘gn’ of gnome with a slight up movement of tongue ঝ This is produced using the naval sounds while the tongue touches the upper part of mouth cavity The better you pronounce a letter in a word, the more understood you will be in speaking the Bengali language.īelow is a table showing the Bengali alphabet and how it is pronounced in English, and finally examples of how those letters would sound if you place them in a word. ধ sound produced by coupling soft ‘d’ and ‘h’= ‘dh’ How many alphabets are there in the Bengali language Well, speaking formally from vidyasagar’s point of view and not deleting letters by people themselves, there are 12 OR 11 vowels and 39 OR 40 OR 41 consonants. ষ Sound of ‘sh’ when the tongue touches the roots of the teeth ফ Sound of ‘f’ if pronounced with closed lips Now to explain why I wrote why is that the Bengali language is highly debatable. You saw how a letter is written and might be pronounced, but there is nothing better than hearing the sound of the letters in a video or audio.
