The government of Japan is about to make the proposed reform of the romanization system (romaji) official. https://www.sankei.com/article/20250923-GZJ24HA25RMPDAMO57K2LLOJOU/?outputType=theme_nie
It's been widely reported in Japanese press but seems like not a lot about it have been discussed in r/japanese.
The new romaji is basically a slightly tweaked hepburn. The government has been using two sandards: kunrei and Hepburn. In school both have been taught. The public however is more used to the latter. The new standard is meant to unify them. Since the difference between the current Hepburn and the new system is small, it is commonly understood that we are ditching kunrei in favor of Hepburn.
Any thoughts?
