How to write Wallace in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Wallace becomes ウォレス, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ウォ | wo | two characters read as one sound |
| レ | re | |
| ス | su |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ウォレス・スミス for Wallace Smith.
