The Japanese Kana, which is used on Uta-garuta cards, is a syllabary and not an alphabet. A syllabary has each character represent a whole syllable, as opposed to an alphabet where each letter represents a phoneme. So it is incorrect to refer to Japanese as having letters and the content on the page should refer to them as syllables. So I am reverted the edits recently made to the way to document was originally. If anyone has objections please discuss them here. Lando242 (talk) 12:57, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
