-==English reference==
+==Formation==
-In English, this yaku is commonly referred as "all simples".  In turn, all tile numbered as 2-8 are simple tiles.
+Tiles numbers 2-8 are designated as "simples".  Its converse, the 1 and 9 tiles plus honor tiles, is grouped as the terminals and honors.  So, in order to form a hand with tanyao, players simply discard the terminal and honor tiles.  Given the range of the simple tiles, the number of tiles available to form this yaku is a wide range.  This availability makes this yaku a particularly fast one to develop.  It is even faster, when used in open fashion.  Although, some rules [[kuitan|may vary]], which disallows the use of tanyao for open hands.
+==Value==
+The speed of the hand's development justifies the value of the hand at 1-han.  This speedy play is associated with cheap value.
