  • I have received many comments since I started the channel asking why I don't use Chinese characters, or Hàn-jī. In this video I lay out the 5 main reasons why, at least for now, I am not using Hanji and sticking with Lomaji as much as possible.
    The reasons are pretty simple, but you should still watch the video to get the complete picture:
    1. Language is based in sound, not writing
    2. Just about every other modern language in the world uses sound-based writing
    3. There are (literally) fewer Taigi speakers by the day, and Hanji don't benefit those who can't already speak it, while Lomaji train you on the sounds directly
    4. It takes 2 weeks to learn Lomaji, vs. the many years it would take for people to learn Hanji, or even just to learn all the new/different Hanji used for Taigi
    5. Hanji are overly politicized, there's no common agreement about which ones to use, and it's impossible to use "the right" Hanji without getting criticism from all sides
    With these points in mind, while I do really like Hanji, I'm giving them up for now while Taigi is still in such a precarious position. Hanji aren't going anywhere, but Taigi might disappear for good if nobody knows how to speak it in the next generation or two. Lomaji, especially when written by Lomaji-literate native speakers, is the best tool we can use to preserve and promote Taigi.
    Just imagine how quickly people could improve their Taigi if all that time spent researching or debating which Hanji is "chiàⁿ" were instead used to teach & practice Lomaji!
