How to write Kenya in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Kenya becomes ケニア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ケ | ke | |
| ニ | ni | |
| ア | a |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ケニア・スミス for Kenya Smith.
