How to write Ibrahim in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Ibrahim becomes イブラヒム, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| イ | i | |
| ブ | bu | |
| ラ | ra | |
| ヒ | hi | |
| ム | mu |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example イブラヒム・スミス for Ibrahim Smith.
