Nihon-shiki
| Japanese Romanization |
See rōmaji for a comparison. |
Nipponsiki or Nihonsiki (日本式, Japan Style?, romanized as Nihon-shiki in Hepburn) is a romanization system for transcribing the Japanese language into the Roman alphabet. This system is said to be better suited to the kana writing system, but because it does not follow patterns familiar to English (as the Hepburn system does), native English speakers find the writing unintuitive.
The system was invented by physicist Akitsu Tanakadate in 1885 and is the predecessor of the more popular Kunreisiki (Kunrei-shiki) romanization system.

The difference between Nipponsiki and Kunreisiki is the difference between the kana syllabary and the actual pronunciation. In Modern Standard Japanese, the pair sounds di/zi ぢ/じ, du/zu づ/ず, dya/zya ぢゃ/じゃ, dyu/zyu ぢゅ/じゅ, dyo/zyo ぢょ/じょ, wi/i ゐ/い, we/e ゑ/え, kwa/ka くゎ/か, gwa/ga ぐゎ/が are currently identical. For example, the word kanadukai (Nipponsiki) かなづかい is pronounced kanazukai in Japanese. modern.
Nipponsiki is sometimes said to be more regular, maintaining a strict correspondence of a kana, two letters. Since it has scripts other than the aforementioned pairs, it is the only romanization system that allows a lossless correspondence between the kana and the Roman alphabet.
Nipponsiki has been recognized as the strict form of ISO 3602. The JSL system, which is intended for foreign students of Japanese, is based on Nipponsiki.
