How to write Janae in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Janae becomes ジャネイ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ジャ | ja | two characters read as one sound |
| ネ | ne | |
| イ | i |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ジャネイ・スミス for Janae Smith.
