What is the Japanese letters a-z?

There is no direct equivalent of the English alphabet (a-z) in Japanese.

Here's why:

* Japanese uses three writing systems: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.

* Hiragana and Katakana: These are syllabaries, meaning each symbol represents a syllable (like "ka", "ki", "ku").

* Kanji: These are logograms, meaning each character represents a word or concept.

So, instead of an alphabet, Japanese uses a combination of these writing systems.

If you're interested in learning more about the Japanese writing systems, you can find resources online or at your local library.
