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 "白話字" of Hakka [hak], Hainanese [proposed
hnm], Teochew [proposed tws],
"平話字"/"興化平話字" for Fuzhou (Mindong [cdo]), Pu–Xian Min [cpx],
"羅馬字" for Minbei [mnp]
should propose different subtag (for example, vernhak, vernhnm, verntws) if
needed.
