Writing system

I see that a lot of articles are written in KATAKANA, Cyrillic and another writing system.

Which one should be used as the "main" writing system? or how should i look at this?

I think there is a solution. We can make it multiscriptual since it can be automatically converted. See this.TNTErick (talk) 15:12, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

It is an automatic translation. Thank you for your understanding.

Originally, Ainu was a language without letters, but various records have been made by Japanese and Russians.

Therefore, it is still recorded in three types of characters (kana, Latin alphabet, and Cyrillic).

These three types of letters are not the main ones, and they are all used as much.

Also, these characters can be mechanically and perfectly converted. BrassSnail (talk) 04:42, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Greetings from Bavaria/Grüeß Got!

I wish you the very best for your new Ainu Wikipedia. I have translated the Bible in Bavarian (Sturmibibl), resp. the Bavarian Book Language (Bairische Buechspraach). Be successful! Hellsepp --80.187.100.108 16:51, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

2012: new initiative - 新しい試み

It has been a long time since this project was proposed, so I have renewed the proposal at m:Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ainu_2#Discussion. I have also posted a request for support at ja:Wikipedia:Help_for_Non-Japanese_Speakers#アイヌウィキペディア - Ainu Wikipedia incubator? on Japanese Wiki, so hopefully that will bring in some more Japanese-English bilinguals to discuss, and figure out how best to engage the Ainu speakers.

I plan in the next few days to message all the users at en:Category:User ain to see if they are able to help. MatthewVanitas (talk) 21:21, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

変種の利用の提案

アイヌ語はできないので日本語を使わせていただきます。失礼いたしました。

このWikiでは、カナ表記とローマ字の二種類が規則的に転写できます。たとえば中国語やw:kkみたいに、ain-kana（アイヌ（カタカナ））とain-latn（アイヌ語（ラテン文字））に分けて、変種が選べるようになるのはどうですか？これにより、まったく同じ意味の二種類の表記がひとつにまとまって、より見やすくなると思います。

(English ver)

I can't speak Ainu, so I will use English to write this. Excuse me for this.

In this Wiki, katakana and romaji can be transcribed regularly. I hope you can make it like Chinese and Kazakh, make the language code into ain-kana (Ainu (katakana)) and ain-latn (Ainu (Latin)) and make the variant-function on. How about being able to choose by this? By doing this, two types of notations with exactly the same meaning will be combined into one, making it easier to see. --LaMagiaaa (talk) 11:48, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Yes, some language has Latin variants. Thingofme (talk) 10:59, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Agreed. I am working on a solution exactly for that, I have developed wikt:ja:モジュール:ain-kana-conv and ported it over into JavaScript at Aynuitak-Itokpa-Inuye Eutasare. To make it work for MediaWiki, maybe we need to port it over to PHP first (because Chinese are converted by this measure). I don't know how Kazakh language is converted.

And since Latn is easy to convert to Kana and Cyrl with few exceptions compared to Kana and Cyrl to Latn. I suggest we use Latn as base writing language and automatically convert it to Kana or Cyrl. -Mkpoli (talk) 01:57, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
