Japanese Kana (Alphabet) Order

These are the initial sounds or kana used generally in words and names in Japanese. Those sounds that exist, but which are not commonly found in modern language have been omitted from the list. This table reads English-style: left-to-right, then down. Each cell has 3 ways of writing the same sound, romanji (Latin or English alphabet), hiragana, and katakana.
