Types of Japanese writing system with examples

Kanji was the first writing system used in Japan.  Japanese took the kanji symbol associated with a particular word in Chinese. A single kanji can be one word. Borrowed from Chinese characters.

Japan’s third writing system, katakana, is a native alphabet based on sounds. Simplified version of the kanji symbols themselves. Over time these characters were standardized into an alphabet.

Women of the Heian court created hiragana around the 8th century. Hiragana characters represent the 46 primary sounds used in Japanese that are originally Japanese.  Hiragana is the backbone to all Japanese learning.

unlike katakana and hiragana, kanji aren’t always characters you put together to make sounds and words. Hiragana and katakana are frequently used to tell you what a kanji says. Hiragana is used for phonetically spelling out Japanese words, and katakana is for foreign words. Hiragana is curly like English cursive while Katakana is more block- ish and sharp. Hiragana originates from the entire kanji, while katakana develops from parts of kanji..
