Talk:Lvliang

Proscribed? and/or Colloquial/Informal?
It seems unusual that a local government and the railroads would use a proscribed form on their local gov website and railroad signs like Lvliang does (and probably Lvshunkou too), but I believe that this use of 'v' may once have been understood as proscribed, and may still be technically proscribed today: the original 汉语拼音方案 has the sentence "v只用来拼写外来词、少数民族语言和方言. " Regardless, from my personal experience and everything I've seen online, this use of 'v' in Hanyu Pinyin as a shorthand for ü is very common.

 * May be connected to the "Standard for the Scheme of Chinese Phonetic Alphabet Input with Universal Keyboard" 《汉语拼音方案的通用键盘表示规范》p. 3 "4.3.2 汉语拼写方案韵母表中ü行韵母（ü、üe、üan、ün）中的字母ü，凡是汉语拼音方案中规定可以省略ü上两点写成u的，在通用键盘上用键位U表示；不能省略两点，仍需写作ü的，在通用键盘上用键位V替代表示. " --Geographyinitiative (talk) 21:43, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
