Go-on

Go-on (呉音, Japanese pronunciation: [ɡo.oɴ], "sounds from the Wu region") are one of the several possible ways of reading Japanese kanji. They are based on the classical pronunciations of Chinese characters of the then-prestigious eastern Jiankang (now Nanjing) dialect.

"Go-On" redirects here. For the Uverworld song, see Go On (Uverworld song).

Go-on preceded the kan-on (漢音) readings. Both go-on and kan-on exhibit characteristics of Middle Chinese.
