هیرگانا is a phonetic script used in the Japanese writing system. It consists of 46 basic characters, each representing a specific sound. هیرگانا is primarily used for native Japanese words, grammatical elements, and to indicate the pronunciation of kanji characters. In addition to هیرگانا, the Japanese writing system includes کاتاکانا, which is used for foreign words and names. Together, these scripts help convey the rich sounds of the Japanese language, making it easier for learners to read and write. هیرگانا is often the first script taught to beginners in Japanese language education.
