Similar to how the months in English are named January through December, the Japanese months are named 一月/1月 through 十二月/12月. When used to refer to the month, transcribe in full, such as ''ichigatsu'' and ''juunigatsu''. | The 12 months of the year are considered dictionary terms, always transcribe in full.
