This module will sort text in the Hiragana script. It is used to sort Southern Amami Ōshima, Japanese, Hachijō, Kikai, Translingual, Miyako, Old Japanese, Okinoerabu, Northern Amami Ōshima, Yaeyama, Okinawan, Tokunoshima, Kunigami, Yonaguni, and Yoron. The module should preferably not be called directly from templates or other modules. To use it from a template, use {{sortkey}}. Within a module, use Module:languages#Language:makeSortKey.

For testcases, see Module:Hira-sortkey/testcases.
