We on Wikipedia peg ourselves to the U. S. Library of Congress Hepburn standard. I checked and it only uses apostrophes with (n) - I personally like using apostrophes with i)(i and n)(n, but I did not know that LOC Hepburn does not call for that until recently. :) WhisperToMe 02:52, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I said I was whipering. Anyway, I know there is little difference between wikipedian Hepburn system and that of LOC. Neither is good for transliteration of the Japanese syllabary. The controversy or strife between the two sects, one advocating the Hepburn system and the other for Nihon-shiki system was so long and vehement that people came to have a fixed idea that there could be no other solution excepting the two. The system I am advocating is a transliteration system of the full set of the Japanese Kana syllabary. I am awkawrd in writing English. I wish you can read my comments at [Frog in a Well].Kmns tsw 06:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

transliteration help
Thank you and welcome to Wikipedia! Chris (talk) 16:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * You are welcome. By the way, you can find the transliteration table of the full set of the Kana syllabary at [EHS(Extended Hepburn System)]. It works two ways. Please read it. I am sure you will find it interesting. Kmns tsw (talk) 03:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad I learned about the system (so I can make more redirects) but I have a feeling that Wikipedia will still use U.S. LOC Hepburn. Notice that JR and many other organizations use Standard Hepburn. The kind used casually can be called a "modified" form of Hepburn that does not use macrons but uses other features of Hepburn.

In short I think "nihonzhin" is less common than "nihonjin." WhisperToMe (talk) 06:02, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't deny it is an original idea. And I am not trying to write anything about it either as an article or as a part of an article of Wikipedia. Only I believe you would find it interesting, and that it might throw some light on the recurring questions of the romanization such as macron etc.--Kmns tsw (talk) 13:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Kana and Romanization
Thank you for letting me know. Is there something I have transliterated incorrectly? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 20:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * No, nothing of that kind. It may sound ridiculous but if asked why I am writing about Kana and romanization, I would say I am not sure of the purpose myself. What I want to say might be boiled down to that transliteration of Kana script could be phonetically reliable if the base be the Classical one, otherwise not. Allow me to use my method to show Kana script. The "oo" of Gendai or Present-Day KANA which comes from "o`o" of the Old or Classical Kana was not supposed to represent a long vowel by those specialists employed by the Ministry of Education. cf [|『言葉に關する問答集』總集編] p.416 but most of the "ou" of Gendai Kana could be regarded as representing a long vowel if it came from "au" of the Classical Kana. About the last statement about "ou", ask any Japanese around you. Anyway, it is very risky to induce phonetic values from Gendai Kana alone.--Kmns tsw (talk) 07:02, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Japanese script reform. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Hepburn romanization. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

 * I would like thank User:Oda Mari for taking trouble of undoing my edit three times and giving me warning so many times.I have a good will to the neutral-point-of-view policy of Wikipedia, so I myself hesitated to make an edit, but I think what is important is not so much as opinion but knowledge in such a project as this. So I tried to harzard the idea without writing down in detail here even in talk page in deference to the guidelines.
 * It was June 1 2006 that I wrote about EHS for the first time to en:wiki. It was on the talk-page of "Romanization of Japanese." You can read it in Talk:Romanization_of_Japanese/Archive_2
 * The two documents are publised by one of the most prestigious sites about Romanization of Japanese Language.
 * Or should I write down here to discuss the matter?Kmns tsw (talk) 02:52, 23 December 2010 (UTC)Kmns tsw
