None of these forms of writing are actually alphabets. PTBairns 09:49, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
- In addition, there are spaces between words in modern Japanese writing, and kanji are not used to distinguish where words begin and end. Kanji are the roots of all Japanese words (like Latin or German in English), and hiragana is used for verb endings, prefixes, suffixes, prepositions, etc. PTBairns 09:52, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
- While "muddied" is the translation of the Japanese term, the English term is "voiced", not "muddied". PTBairns 09:53, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
True, but I used the term alphabet to try and make it easier for people to associate with. I can assure you as a Japanese person that spaces are not used in general writing, although with the advent of computers and cell phone mail, younger people do tend to space their words. I also used use both terms 'voiced' and 'muddied' for clarity. --JessicaTOhayo gozaimasu! 09:58, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
