Talk:E (kana)

Is "Ye" original research?

 * Current article says "When initial or following /i/ or /n/, many speakers give the letter an initial glide, pronouncing it [ʲe]", but as a native speaker of Japanese, I don't think the initial /e/ becomes /je/. Any source?
 * Then it follows: "leading to Romanizations such as "yen", "Yedo", "Yebisu", and so forth". I doubt this reasoning. Some "Ye" romanizations are remnants of historical systems. See Romanization of Japanese. (And probably they were because in that era, the Japanese pronounced "ye" instead of today's "え". See Late Middle Japanese.) --Ahora (talk) 09:16, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
