[The pronunciation of the Japanese vowels and consonants follows closely the Italian; in diphthongs and triphthongs each vowel is given full value.
a = a as in father, e = a as in mate, i = e as in meet, o = o as in soap, u = oo as in fool.
g is always hard. In the Tōkyō district it has the sound ng.
ch has full value, as in church. It is not k; c is only found as ch; i.e. cha, chi, cho, chu.
The vowels also have long (continued) sounds, marked by the accent -.
