How to write Zachariah in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Zachariah becomes ザカライア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ザ | za | |
| カ | ka | |
| ラ | ra | |
| イ | i | |
| ア | a |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ザカライア・スミス for Zachariah Smith.
