Re: [Ietf-languages] Forms for Min Nan variants

[Winston Sung <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

below are the updated application details.

Due to the differences between different Vernacular Romanization Systems
(or "Church Romanization") in different languages, the proposed variant
subtags below would still not for the use of non-Hokkien languages.

Vernacular Romanization Systems of Hakka [hak], Hainanese [proposed hnm],
Fuzhou (Mindong [cdo]), Teochew (Pe̍h-ūe-jī), Minbei [mnp], Pu–Xian Min
[cpx] should propose different subtag (for example, phakfasu, baehoetu) if
needed.
