Modern Sohcahtoan uses all three scripts used in the Japanese language today: [[w:Hiragana|Hiragana]], [[w:Katakana|Katakana]] and [[w:Kanji|Kanji]], and each script more of less retain their original purpose as in Japanese. However, some hiragana are pronounced differently than in Japanese, most notably <を> being pronounced [(w)o] in Japanese and [oː] in Sohcahtoan, and <は> being pronounced [ha] or [wa] in Japanese and [aː] in Sohcahtoan. | |||
Additionally, while Japanese kanji have two ways to read a kanji(''onyomi'' and ''kunyomi''), Sohcahtoan kanji have only one way to read a kanji. | |||
Ancient Sohcahtoan uses the [[w:Latin alphabet|Latin script]], as some sounds like [ə] can not be represented using solely Hiragana or Katakana. The Ancient Sohcahtoan alphabet is heavily based on the Portuguese alphabet, such as how <ã> is used to represent [ə]. | |||
