ALA-LC Japanese Romanization Table, 2022 version (McCune-Reischauer). Encodes the Romanized/Kana Equivalent Charts (chart A, Standard; chart B, Non-traditional Japanese for foreign words) kana-by-kana, per section 2.1 ("words and parts of words written only in hiragana or katakana should be romanized as they appear") and section 2.4.2.1 ("Romanize kana-by-kana"), together with the deterministic orthographic rules of the same document: the lengthening-bar macron rule (2.5.1), the sokuon doubling rule (chart A note ii), the n-apostrophe rule (5.2), the kana repetition markers (4.4.1) and the punctuation and typographical equivalents (4.2-4.3). Transcribed from the loc.gov document's complete text layer.
