How to write Royalty in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Royalty becomes ロイヤルティ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ロ | ro | |
| イ | i | |
| ヤ | ya | |
| ル | ru | |
| ティ | ti | 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 ロイヤルティ・スミス for Royalty Smith.
