'V' sound in Japanese


How do I get a V sound in Japanese? How do I write my name XAVIER

Thank you in advance for your reply. Prasanna XD




We Japanese all know your name
[here](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B7%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B3%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B6%E3%83%93%E3%82%A8%E3%83%AB)
(in Japanese) and [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Xavier) (in
English).

We usually write Xavier as ザビエル, but the Japanese who could write it as ザヴィエル
have increased since English loanwords have increased. The sound of ビ is _bi_
, while ヴィ is _vi_ , so ヴィ seems to express the sound more accurately.

But, we are familiar with フランシスコ ザビエル, so I recommend you to write your name
as ザビエル.
