Hepburn romanization

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hepburn romanization (Japanese: ヘボン式ローマ字, Hepburn: Hebon-shiki Rōmaji, 'Hepburn-type Roman letters') is a system of Japanese romanization. It uses the Latin alphabet. Many people from countries other than Japan use Hepburn romanization to help learn how to spell Japanese in the Latin alphabet.[1]
