How to write Jamarion in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Jamarion becomes ジャマリオン, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ジャ | ja | two characters read as one sound |
| マ | ma | |
| リ | ri | |
| オ | o | |
| 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 ジャマリオン・スミス for Jamarion Smith.
