Please take a look at this version of Church Romanization artcl (now a redirect). Reusable? Where it was copyed from, I am wondering. The text refers to "Wikipedia". mikka (t) 05:56, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

It appears to be from the corresponding article in the Chinese version of Wikipedia. --ian 17:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

The tone markers may not display correctly in all typefaces, but it appears now a lot of the pe̍h-oē-jī is in Lucida Sans Unicode--is that really necessary? --ian 21:00, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

No, it isn't, and I've removed that formatting. —Babelfisch 02:12, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I translated a couple of the later paragraphs from the current Chinese incarnation. The Chinese version could be slightly NPOV against KMT, but this is a thorny issue and it is hard to deny the role of the KMT in suppressing Taiwanese. Anyways, maybe someone knows official English names of the "mother tongue movement" and 國語推行委員會. I also don't know the best romanizations of the three individuals who made the application to the ISO; I doubt that they themselves would use pinyin. If you're reading this Kaihsu maybe you could help out here? :-) Mgmei 21:33, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pe̍h-oē-jī or Pe̍h-ōe-jī?

Why do the Taiwanese and Chinese Wikipedias list POJ as Pe̍h-oē-jī while the English one lists it as Pe̍h-ōe-jī? Was the article incorrectly moved? Hintha 07:56, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I think "Pe̍h-ōe-jī" is correct, so the zh-min-nan and zh Wikipedias are mistaken--according to Wikipedia:Chiàⁿ-jī-hoat (in the Siaⁿ-tiāu hû-hō ê phiat-hoat section), the macron should be on the 'o' and not the 'e'. --ian (talk) 16:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IPA

Why not consider giving the corresponding IPA for each letter? With all that Pinyin, Wade-Giles and stuff out there, one does not have a clue about how consonants in Pe̍h-ōe-jī ought to be pronounced... orthographic symbols are useless unless they're assigned some phonemic/phonetic content!

I incorporated your suggestion into a new template called {{POJtable}}, which is now embedded in the article at Pe̍h-ōe-jī#Comparison_chart. A-cai 13:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
