Examples of Katakana
Today, we will be reading the Katakana form
of Asian countries. Most countries in the world are written in Katakana except Japan
(Of course), China (as the origin of Kanji is from the Ancient China), North
and South Korea (before Hangeul was introduce, Koreans used the Traditional Chinese
characters. You can check some Historical Korean Drama for reference) and Taiwan.
Japan, Korea (North and South) and China have shared the same history and I
will not talk about it here because my knowledge about their History is limited.
But I will be sharing my country’s history in the future (I hope so). I will
not include these five Countries as not to confused everyone on why only these
five have Kanji characters.
For countries, it is very easy to write the
Katakana form. Just read the name by syllables and you can write its Katakana
form. I will only write the Asian countries (except the five countries) because
there are too many countries in the world. I will separate each Continents so the
page for the Countries will not be too long.

know if the last five Kanji means the Emirates as UAE is consist of seven
emirates. If someone has an idea, I will be happy to learn about it.
