For example, dictionaries are ordered using this method. The gojūon order is the prevalent system for collating Japanese in Japan. smaller kana (sutegana), such as the sokuon (っ) or in the yōon (ゃ,ゅ,ょ).versions of kana with a dakuten such as が ( ga) or だ ( da), or kana with handakuten such as ぱ ( pa) or ぷ ( pu),.The gojūon contains all the basic kana, but it does not include: (Previously mu (hiragana む) was used for this sound.) The kana for syllabic n (hiragana ん) is not part of the grid, as it was introduced long after gojūon ordering was devised. Also, with the spelling reforms after World War II, the kana for wi and we were replaced with i and e, the sounds they had developed into. Some of these gaps have always existed as gaps in sound: there was no yi or wu in Old Japanese, and ye disappeared in Early Middle Japanese, predating the kana the kana for i, u and e double up for those phantom values. As depicted at the right using hiragana characters, the sequence begins with あ ( a), い ( i), う ( u), え ( e), お ( o), then continues with か ( ka), き ( ki), く ( ku), け ( ke), こ ( ko), and so on and so forth for a total of ten rows of five columns.Īlthough nominally containing 50 characters, the grid is not completely filled, and, further, there is an extra character added outside the grid at the end: with 5 gaps and 1 extra character, the current number of distinct kana in a syllabic chart in modern Japanese is therefore 46. Each kana, which may be a hiragana or katakana character, corresponds to one sound in Japanese. The 'fifty' ( gojū) in its name refers to the 5×10 grid in which the characters are displayed. 'fifty sounds') is a traditional system ordering kana by their component phonemes, roughly analogous to alphabetical order. In the Japanese language, the gojūon ( 五十音, Japanese pronunciation:, lit.
