Table of hiragana
The following table shows the complete hiragana together with the Hepburn romanization and IPA transcription in the gojūon order. Hiragana with dakuten or handakuten follow the gojūon kana without them, with the yōon kana following. Obsolete and normally unused kana are shown in brackets and. Those in bold do not use the initial sound for that row. For all syllables besides ん, the pronunciation indicated is for word-initial syllables, for mid-word pronunciations see below.

In the middle of words, the g sound (normally ) may turn into a velar nasal or velar fricative. An exception to this is numerals; 15 jūgo is considered to be one word, but is pronounced as if it was jū and go stacked end to end:.

In many accents, the j and z sounds are pronounced as affricates ( and, respectively) at the beginning of utterances and fricatives in the middle of words. For example, すうじ sūji 'number', ざっし zasshi  'magazine'.

In archaic forms of Japanese, there existed the kwa (くゎ ) and gwa (ぐゎ ) digraphs. In modern Japanese, these phonemes have been phased out of usage and only exist in the extended katakana digraphs for approximating foreign language words.

The singular n is pronounced before t, ch, ts, n, r, z, j and d,  before m, b and p,  before k and g,  at the end of utterances, and some kind of high nasal vowel  before vowels, palatal approximants (y), fricative consonants s, sh, h, f and w.

In kanji readings, the diphthongs ou and ei are today usually pronounced (long o) and  (long e) respectively. For example, とうきょう (lit. toukyou) is pronounced 'Tokyo', and せんせい sensei is  'teacher'. However, とう tou is pronounced 'to inquire', because the o and u are considered distinct, u being the verb ending in the dictionary form. Similarly, している shite iru is pronounced 'is doing'.
