There is no L in the Japanese language, but some Japanese can still say it with practice. If they cannot pronounce it properly they will most of the time use an R in its place. It's like somebody who cannot roll their Rs trying to roll their Rs, it's possible, but not easy and not natural.
Comment:
That about says it, yes. If a Japanese person tries to just say "L", it usually comes out as "eru", while saying something like "lock" would come out as "rokku".
Comment:
There is neither a 100% R nor a 100% L in Japanese, what they can pronounce naturally is a mild R most of times. If to give it percentage it's like 70% R 30% L, they don't say R with emphasis like other languages. Same goes with F and H (fu).

∙ 6y agoThere is no distinction in Japanese between R and L. The "R-like" consonant in Japanese sounds somewhat like a cross between R and L. In the syllable "ro" it sounds more like an L.
In all romanization systems, this sound is written with an R.

There is no specific way to write that name in japanese since the Japanese do not have l's in their language. When you hear a Japanese speak they normally convert their L's into R's. you would have to convert the L's which would make it roughly look like this: シエリイshierii (pron: she-eh-ree) hoped this helped^^
/l/l;

"L" in Japanese is pronounced like the English "R" sound. It is represented as れ or ル in hiragana and katakana, respectively.
If you mean how to write 'Joseph' in Japanese : ジョセッフ (jo se'ffu) is the answer.
Z. single roman letters can not be written in Japanese
As in you write a letter to someone? Tegami.
There is none; Japan doesn't use English letters. The closest thing would be the translation of the sound "aa", which would be あ.
Bobby in Japanese is phonetic: ボッビ (bobbi).
ダル pronounced day-ru (a Japanese r is like an r and an l mixed together)
