How to write Nash in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Nash becomes ナッシュ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ナ | na | |
| ッ | – | small tsu: a short pause that doubles the next sound |
| シュ | shu | two characters read as one sound |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ナッシュ・スミス for Nash Smith.
