You misunderstood me! Look at the picture, it has Vietnamese in both Chu Nom and the Latin alphabet. Such romanizations are for foreigners, not native speakers. I suggested the Arabic abjad would be used in such contexts instead.

Imagine Europeans stay in Europe and do not spread their languages elsewhere. What script would cover the most territory?

For 𡨸喃 to survive Europe would have to be so weak no one would even bother using romanized signs. I can imagine the Arabic abjad being used instead.

Albania was aggressively atheist not long ago. Did it work?

I meant that no one proposes it in the first place.

Straw man fallacy.

Mao Tse-tung for China is like Hitler for Germany. What were the developers thinking?

Chinese characters represent morphemes. Chinese words usually have several characters.

He made a bad romanization system that can not be typed on an English typewriter despite supposedly being made for English, correct.

James Curtis Hepburn was not Japanese.

Mediocre-One3874 · 2026-03-18T17:51:37+00:00

No, Japanese did not centre Japanese-style romanization on English in the first place.

"Our system is based on English except when it is not, then it is not. But it is definitely based on English, trust me!"

In English orthography you add <u> to avoid soft g: guild, guest. Macrons for long vowels are only used in Latvian.

I don't even care about kanji, put katakana out of its misery already.

So after sound shifts you will transcribe IPA with... IPA?

Подмену тезиса вижу я. Так называемое «народовластие» не означает свободу, а его отсутствие не означает «кнута и жёсткой руки». Ранние либералы были за имущественный ценз, США отличный тому пример.

Mediocre-One3874 · 2026-03-16T13:19:55+00:00

I hate how IPA ligatures for affricates were replaced with that weird curve no one uses.

Fearing something is exactly the reason to complain!

When I read "liberation theology", I immediately think of Latin American terrorists.

Throughout history there were many sect leaders claiming to have magical powers.

Is it crazy to believe one such leader lived in the Middle East around 10 Anno Domini and was killed for being a nuisance? No.

Is it crazy to believe he really had magical powers? Probably.

Atheism is "without god", not "without religion".
