Japanese transliteration

Japanese transliteration refers to the system of converting Japanese text from its native scripts (kanji, hiragana, and katakana) into the Latin alphabet. This process helps non-Japanese speakers read and pronounce Japanese words using Roman letters. Common transliteration methods include Hepburn, Kunrei-shiki, and Nihon-shiki, each with unique rules and applications. Japanese transliteration is widely used in language learning, travel guides, dictionaries, and digital text input tools.
