How to write Ignacio in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Ignacio becomes イグナシオ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| イ | i | |
| グ | gu | |
| ナ | na | |
| シ | shi | |
| オ | o |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example イグナシオ・スミス for Ignacio Smith.
