Re: [PLS1.0] i18n comment: Japanese mixtures

Issue R103-25


Proposed Classification: Clarification / Typo / Editorial 

Resolution: Accept 

We accept you comment by changing the third bullet in Section 4.5 [1]. The proposed text is the following which includes an inline example of mixed scripts: 

 

[[

Alternate writing systems, e.g. Japanese uses a mixture of Han ideographs (Kanji), and phonemic spelling systems (Katakana or Hiragana) for representing the orthography of a word or phrase, and such mixture sometimes has several variations as in kana suffixes following kanji stems (Okurigana) for example "okonau" (行なう vs. 行う);

]]

 

Please indicate whether you are satisfied with the VBWG's resolution, whether you think there has been a misunderstanding, or whether you wish to register an objection.

Comment: 
"Alternate writing systems, e.g. Japanese uses a mixture of Han ideographs (Kanji), and phonemic spelling systems e.g.Katakana or Hiragana for representing the orthography of a word or phrase;"
 
 
The fact that Japanese mixes scripts is one thing, but i think the point here is that, for example, one sometimes writes thesame word using hiragana and sometimes with kanji, according to preference or circumstance.
 
 
A good example might be 'shouyu' (soy sauce), which can be written using either kanji or hiragana: kanji
i$f29o<hiragana:ccc[1]cc[1]
