<< < (3/3)

kinta:
Japanease includes Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana.
Though the number of the Kanji is a few thousands. Hiragana and Katakana are about 50 respectively.
Hiragana and Katakana are phonography that are made of transforming the Kanji.
あ=a い=i う=u え=e お=o
か=ka き=ki く=ku け=ke こ=ko
さ=sa し=shi す=su せ=se そ=so
た=ta ち=chi つ=tsu て=te と=to
な=na に=ni ぬ=nu ね=ne の=no
は=ha ひ=hi ふ=fu へ=he ほ=ho
ま=ma み=mi む=mu め=me も=mo
や=ya ゆ=yu よ=yo
わ=wa ゐ=wi ゑ=we
ん=n

Neither "ゐ" nor "ゑ" is used among these.

kinta:
The pronunciation of Kanjis have "呉音" which were transmitted from China to Japan in ancient times, and "漢音" which got across to Japan after diplomatic relations were established between China and Japan, and  "唐音" which got across to Japan in tha Chinease "宗" era ,"明" era, and  "清" era, and "訓読み" which applied the pronunciation of the language Japan had from ancient times at it to the Kanji.
Therefore even if it is the same Kanji, there is various pronounciation.

<example>
明 = myou ... 呉音
明 = mei ... 漢音
明 = min ... 唐音
明 = ake ... 訓読み
