Awesomemeeos doesn't know Shan; is it really proper to use this system as-is? There are many parts that strike me as very odd, such as ohi/uai /uːj/ and oi/oy /ɔj/ (which I suppose comes from Omniglot, but where did Omniglot get their romanization from? why are there alternate romanizations for the same diphthongs?). I also think that using letters with diacritics, like the Thai romanization we use, might be clearer than digraphs. —suzukaze (t・c) 06:08, 8 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I think we can always use -y instead of -i in diphthongs. --Octahedron80 (talk) 06:13, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
