=== [[Japanese language|Japanese]] in [[Romaji]] ([[:ja:日本語|Nihongo/日本語]])===
*words: ''desu, aru, suru'', esp. at end of sentences;
*word endings: ''-masu, -masen, -shita'';
*letters: Japanese almost always alternates between a consonant and a vowel. Exceptions are [[digraph]]s ''shi'' and ''chi'', [[affricate]] ''tsu'', [[gemination]] (two of the same consonant in a row) and [[Palatalization (phonetics)|palatalization]] (a consonant followed by the letter ''y''). 
*a macron or circumflex may be used to indicate doubled vowels, eg. ''Tōkyō''
*common words: ''no, o, wa, de, ni''
(Note: Romaji is not often used in Japanese script. It is most often used for foreigners learning the pronunciation of the Japanese language.)
