===Japanese romanization=== | |||
* Japanese should be transliterated following the Hepburn system. E.g., jan, not jyan; tsuchi, not tuti. | |||
* Vowels in katakana should be replaced as if they were standard hiragana vowels. E.g., aa; ei; ii; ou; uu. Exceptions apply for words requiring the use of "oo" in standard language. | |||
* Compounds of 3 characters should remain together when possible, compounds of 4 or more should generally be split. 字一色 大三元 versus 流し満貫. | |||
* The use of hyphens to link elements of a compound is discouraged. E.g., "nagashi mangan"; not "nagashi-mangan". | |||
