Multi-moraic kana

I (い inhiragana orイ inkatakana) is one of the Japanesekana each of which represents onemora. い is based on thesōsho style of thekanji character 以, and イ is from theradical (left part) of the kanji character 伊. In the modern Japanese system of sound order, it occupies the second position of the mora chart, betweenあ andう. Additionally, it is the first letter inIroha, before ろ. Both represent the sound[i]. In theAinu language, katakana イ is written asy in their Latin-based mora chart, and a small ィ after another katakana represents adiphthong.

Variant forms

[edit]

Like other vowels, scaled-down versions of the kana (ぃ, ィ) are used to express soundsforeign to the Japanese language, such as フィ (fi). In someOkinawan writing systems, a small ぃ is also combined with the kana く (ku) and ふ to form the digraphs くぃkwi and ふぃhwi respectively, although the Ryukyu University system uses the kana ゐ/ヰ instead.

Origin

[edit]

い comes from the left part of theKanji 以, while イ originates from the left part of the Kanji 伊.[1] Analternate form - 𛀆, based on the full cursive form of 以 is one of the most commonhentaigana, as it merged with い late in the development of modern Japanese writing.
