Kindly tell me..How many vowels and consonants are there in these languages?

There are 5 vowels and 9 consonants in Japanese. As we use English alphabets to replace Japanese family name and first name as readable by the world, for issuing a pport or visa or the list goes on, we write as follows. A for あ as in "uh", and I for い like e in "eel" and U for う like o in "ooops" and E for え like E in "Emily" and O for お like O in "Oh". They should not be pronounced long. I would p another person a chance to tell you any other features of Japanese. I am going to test tomorrow. Bye.
