The Basic 46 Hiragana Characters

Exceptions: The Hiragana は (ha) is pronounced "wa" when it immediately follows the topic of the sentence. This character is usually only pronounced "ha" when it is part of a word. The Hiragana へ (he) is pronounced "e" when it immediately follows a place or direction. Both of these are very simple to detect. At first we draw Horizontal line then vertical line.

Indicated with two small dots.

か　(ka) change to  ga(が) さ   (sa) change to   za(ざ) た   (ta) change to  da (だ) は    (ha) change to  ba & pa (ば) (ぱ) RULE 1 TENTEN ( ゛) AND MARU ( ゜) The first rule describes the way the pronunciation changes when two small dashes ( ữ ) called tenten or a small circle ( Ự) called maru is added to a hiragana character. Tenten may be added to 20 hiragana characters, giving them a voiced consonant sound. For example, adding tenten to any of the Ầ, Ẩ, Ẫ, Ậ, Ắ row characters changes the “k” (as in coat) to “g” (as in goat). You will notice a vibration in your throat when you pronounce “g,” but not “k.” All 20 hiragana characters become voiced sounds when you add tenten.  Note: You probably noticed in the chart above that there are 2 characters pronounced "zu" and 2 characters pronounced "ji". The characters づ (zu) and ぢ (ji) are very rarely used. づ (zu) only occurs when there is a つ (tsu) in front of it like in つづく (tsuzuku - to continue) or when a Kanji (Chinese character) that has a reading which starts with つ (tsu) is paired at the end with another character changing the つ (tsu) to a づ (zu). The same applies for the Hiragana ぢ (ji).
