How to write Kaliyah in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Kaliyah becomes カリヤ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| カ | ka | |
| リ | ri | |
| ヤ | ya |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example カリヤ・スミス for Kaliyah Smith.
