How to write Mohamed in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Mohamed becomes モハメド, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| モ | mo | |
| ハ | ha | |
| メ | me | |
| ド | do |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example モハメド・スミス for Mohamed Smith.
