How to write Judith in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Judith becomes ジュディス, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ジュ | ju | two characters read as one sound |
| ディ | di | two characters read as one sound |
| ス | su |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ジュディス・スミス for Judith Smith.
