How to write Skyler in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Skyler becomes スカイラー, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ス | su | |
| カ | ka | |
| イ | i | |
| ラ | ra | |
| ー | – | long vowel mark: hold the sound before it a little longer |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example スカイラー・スミス for Skyler Smith.
