    Hiragana (平仮名, ひらがな or ヒラガナ?) is a Japanese syllabary, one basic component of the japanese writing system , along with katakana,kanji, and the Latin alphabet (rōmaji).

    How to write the spelling?

    Hiragana consists of a basic set of characters: five singular vowels, 39 distinct consonant-vowel unions and one singular consonant. Additionally, を wo is included (although pronounced the same as vowel お o, [o]), bringing up the total count of common-use characters to 46.
    These basic characters can be modified in various ways. By adding a dakuten marker ( ゛), a voiceless consonant is turned into a voiced consonant:kg, sz, td, and hb. Hiragana beginning with an h can also add a handakuten marker ( ゜) changing the h to a p.

    What is this? A new kind, the "informative spambot"?
