How to write Layla in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Layla becomes レイラ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| レ | re | |
| イ | i | |
| ラ | ra |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example レイラ・スミス for Layla Smith.
