I got into an argument about romanization today. Here's "the only romanization system that doesn't suck, even though it's not a standard". {{{#!nutable ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; あ;い;う;え;お;;;;;;;;;;;;僕は;boku wa a;i;u;e;o;;;;;;;;;;;;遠い;tooi か;き;く;け;こ;;が;ぎ;ぐ;げ;ご;;;クヮ;キェ;;問う;tou ka;ki;ku;ke;ko;;ga;gi;gu;ge;go;;;kwa;kye (etc);;問おう;toou さ;し;す;せ;そ;;ざ;じ;ず;ぜ;ぞ;;;せぃ;ぜぃ;;鳳凰;houou sa;shi;su;se;so;;za;ji;zu;ze;zo;;;si;zi;;; た;ち;つ;て;と;;だ;ぢ;づ;で;ど;;;てぃ;てぅ;;かった;katta ta;chi;tsu;te;to;;da;ji/dji*;zu/dzu*;de;do;;;ti;tu;;; な;に;ぬ;ね;の;;;;;;;;;つぁ;づぁ;;; na;ni;nu;ne;no;;;;;;;;;tsa;dza;;; は;ひ;ふ;へ;ほ;;ば;び;ぶ;べ;ぼ;;;ふぁ;ふゃ;;未来へ;mirai-e ha;hi;fu;he;ho;;ba;bi;bu;be;bo;;;fa (etc);fya (etc);;; ま;み;む;め;も;;ぱ;ぴ;ぷ;ぺ;ぽ;;;ほぅ;;;; ma;mi;mu;me;mo;;pa;pi;pu;pe;po;;;hu;;;; や;;ゆ;;よ;;;;;;;;;;;;; ya;;yu;;yo;;;;;;;;;;;;; わ;;;;を;;;;;;;;;ウィ;ヴァ;;; wa;;;;wo/-o;;;;;;;;;wi (etc);va (etc);;君を;kimi wo / kimi-o ん;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;幻影;gen'ei / gen-ei n;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; }}} * as pronounced in context {{{#!nutable ;;;;;;;;;; きゃ;;きゅ;;きょ;;ぎゃ;;ぎゅ;;ぎょ kya;;kyu;;kyo;;gya;;gyu;;gyo しゃ;;しゅ;;しょ;;じゃ;;じゅ;;じょ sha;;shu;;sho;;ja;;ju;;jo ちゃ;;ちゅ;;ちょ;;ぢゃ;;ぢゅ;;ぢょ cha;;chu;;cho;;ja/dja*;;ju/dju*;;jo/djo* にゃ;;にゅ;;にょ;;;;;; nya;;nyu;;nyo;;;;;; ひゃ;;ひゅ;;ひょ;;びゃ;;びゅ;;びょ hya;;hyu;;hyo;;bya;;byu;;byo みゃ;;みゅ;;みょ;;ぴゃ;;ぴゅ;;ぴょ mya;;myu;;myo;;pya;;pyu;;pyo りゃ;;りゅ;;りょ;;;;;; rya;;ryu;;ryo;;;;;; }}} * as pronounced in context All else as predicted from the above, or in the case of katakana extensions, the obvious phonetic meaning for which the sequence exists in the first place. Katakana and hiragana are treated '''exactly''' the same. The long vowel mark is considered a reiteration of the core vowel of the previous mora, or in the case of ん, an extension of that sound.
