How to write Emiliano in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Emiliano becomes エミリアーノ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| ミ | mi | |
| リ | ri | |
| ア | a | |
| ー | – | long vowel mark: hold the sound before it a little longer |
| ノ | no |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エミリアーノ・スミス for Emiliano Smith.
