Kana Morse

Japanese Morse Code

Study a starter set of Japanese kana in Wabun code, the Japanese Morse adaptation used for kana rather than Latin letters.

System note

Wabun code

This first page uses a manually vetted starter set from common Wabun/kana Morse tables. It is not a full kana chart yet and it does not transliterate Japanese into International Morse.

Foundation set only: vowels, the k-row, and ン are included so learners can compare kana, romaji readings, and Wabun rhythm without implying full coverage.

Interactive cards

Hear each pattern

Each card shows the target character, a reading or Latin reference, and the Morse pattern. The English A-Z reference stays beside the language table so you can compare rhythm without confusing a language adaptation with transliteration.

Guide

How to use this Japanese Morse page

Start with the character cards, then listen to a few related patterns in a row. The Morse pattern is shown with dots and dashes; spaces separate characters in examples, and a slash is used as a word break on MorseWords tools.

The play buttons use the same browser audio approach as other MorseWords reference pages. They are meant for rhythm checking and practice, not for claiming a new official language standard.

This first page uses a manually vetted starter set from common Wabun/kana Morse tables. It is not a full kana chart yet and it does not transliterate Japanese into International Morse.
