Ah. What am I supposed to say here? Uh.......hmm. I was just wanting to know what type of writing system is mostly used in Japan. I don't know which ones I should learn first. Katakana, Hiragana, Kanji, Handakuon, Dakuon, Kana, or Rōmaji? Just, ah....just asking is all.

I probably sound like a dork though, because I think Handakuon and Dakuon are pretty much the same. But I think Katakana and sometimes Kanji are used most constantly. I'm not positive though. So, uh......Gosh, no one is probably ever going to read this, and I'm probably never going to come back to see if there is a reply or not, so why bother?

But you know, I'd never be able to make such a vast website such as yours, so congratulations! And keep up the good work! I enjoy the forign language parts of Wikipedia. Thank you for helping me out!

Well, dakuten is not really a writing system, it's more like Japanese diacritics to voice a consonant sound. Kana is an umbrella term for both Katakana and Hiragana. Anyway, you should probably learn Hiragana first, and Katakana shortly afterwards (or possibly, the other way around, like me) and not start with Kanji before you begin knowing your Kana quite well. Anyway, there are already quite extensive Wikipedia articles about the Japanese writing systems.
I might be late in this story but the most letters that are used are Hiragana and Kanji. You should first learn Hiragana first to get the hang of the rest, but romaji is easier. user:Englishfun
Well, I'm totally late for this, but you should get a solid footing in hiragana before going anywhere. Then go to katakana, and then you can start kanji. Romaji is a great tool during this time, but don't get used to it, it can very quickly become a crutch. Hope I helped. :)ILuvEire (talk) 06:58, 20 May 2009 (UTC) No no nope. you should'nt be here.Reply

The Japanese wiki contains a lot of Kanjis. I'm trying to add the span class title thing for clarity, but does not work out very well, since it's not with the wikitext editor. What do we do? --2A01:E35:2F23:5EA0:25C2:1A8F:9A98:53D2 (talk) 08:08, 26 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
