How to write Milton in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Milton becomes ミルトン, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ミ | mi | |
| ル | ru | |
| ト | to | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ミルトン・スミス for Milton Smith.
