How to write Ashtyn in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Ashtyn becomes アシュティン, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ア | a | |
| シュ | shu | two characters read as one sound |
| ティ | ti | two characters read as one sound |
| ン | n | n on its own |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example アシュティン・スミス for Ashtyn Smith.
