This request is a resubmission of a similar request from January 2019, with
a few changes including additional reference links (Thanks to Doug Ewell's
help) and also removed hak/nan prefix from the request (While Tongyong
romanization system for the two languages have been created published, the
amount of people using them seems minimal and thus it's probably betternot
to conflate the subtag with the version of system for those languages)

1. Name of requester: Phake Nick

2. E-mail address of requester: c933103 at gmail.com

3. Record Requested:

Type: variant
Subtag: tongyong
Description: Tongyong Pinyin romanization
Prefix: zh-Latn
Comments: Former official transcription standard for Mandarin Chinese in
Taiwan.

4. Intended meaning of the subtag: Indicate Romanized content that use
Tongyong pinyin romanization

5. Reference to published description of the language (book or
article):

a. "Guidelines of Using Chinese Phonetic Spelling", published by the
government of Taiwan in 2002.
http://www.rootlaw.com.tw/LawContent.aspx?LawID=A040030001010900-1000310

b. "Hanyu Pinyin to be standard system in 2009". Shih Hsiu-Chuan. In
Taipei Times, 2008-09-18.
http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2008/09/18/2003423528

c. "Lost in Romanisation". In The Economist, 2014-06-07.
https://www.economist.com/asia/2014/06/07/lost-in-romanisation

6. Any other relevant information: The Tongyong Pinyin transcription
standard was official in Taiwan in the mid-2000s. It has now been displaced
by Pinyin romanization as the official transcription rule for Chinese
languages in Taiwan, however it is still continually being used to a
certain extent within Taiwan and thus it would be helpful to have a variant
subtag to separate it from Pinyin Romanization.
