[edit] Particles in Hepburn

The article currently states that particles should be written as pronounced in Hepburn, but AFAIK the third edition doesn't mention this. Is this a Revised addition? Jpatokal (talk) 23:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Nominative or subjective by wa or ga.
Hito wa, a man.
That's what it says --iopq (talk) 12:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
A-ha! But it also says "Accusative or objective by wo. Hito wo, a man.", whereas the Wiki article says it should be o? (And ye for へ, but that's archaic.) Jpatokal (talk) 14:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ISO 639

Is there an ISO639 code for Hepburn? (I've searched using Google and cannot find one; using the usual ISO code for Japanese, in HTML's "lang" attribute, causes browsers to try to download a Japanese font set.) If so, it should be mentioned in the article; and to mark-up Romaji words on Wikipeida. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BCCWebTeam (talkcontribs) 13:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Why should there be? Hepburn is not a language!JimBreen (talk) 07:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
