message: :I agree - some information on the system developed by Andrei Danchev would be appreciated.

thread_title:  Um, what about Cyrillization of Roman letters? Like from English? 

message: "Transliteration into Cyrillic" is definitely a topic that should have an article, but I think the primary topic of "Cyrillization" should be the phenomenon of when a language academy or government phases out some other alphabet, like Arabic, into Cyrillic when teaching and making official publications in a standard language. Like what happened in the Soviet Union. Shrigley (talk) 21:31, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cyrillization of languages? 

message: The article talks about Cyrillization as if there's one unique Cyrillic that's' the same for all Cyrillic-based languages. That's not the case. Cyrillic alphabets are different, for instance for Russian and Ukrainian. Moreover, cyrillization is drastically different based on the Cyrillic's-based language, e.g., Polivanov system is the system for transliteration/transcribing of Japanese ONLY into Russian Cyrillic. It can't be used to transliteration/transcribing into Ukrainian Cyrillic because first the alphabets are different and secondly the languages are different (that's why there are something like 5+ contemporary Ukrainian systems for transliteration/transcribing of Japanese into Ukrainian Cyrillic.
Article needs to be rewritten to reflect that all the sub-articles (cyrillization of Chinese etc. etc.) all talk ONLY about transliteration/transcribing  of that language into Russian Cyrillic and Russian Cyrillic only. --Piznajko (talk) 22:15, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

message: *  why did you revert the changes? This article is only about Polivanov system (and not about any other Japanese-to-other-language Cyrillic systems). The first paragraph in the article consisted of incorrect statement: it said that other Cyrillic languages use Polivanov system. That's not the case: other Cyrillic languages don't use Polivanov system, primary example - Ukrainian. it has a bunch of it's own Japanese-Ukrainian transliteration systems.--Piznajko (talk) 07:15, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted it, because what is needed is an article on "Cyrillization of Japanese". I understand your point, that this article currently only describes one, and badly (it is full of "textbook" like stuff about "It is better to do this or that...") OK, I will restore the stub first paragraph in the Cyrillization article and leave the rest here. (Not that I think that is really the best way. Can someone not add information about other systems, and also about ad hoc names, which must have existed historically.) Imaginatorium (talk) 07:27, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

message: I've cut the scope of this article way down as it was basically a duplication of all five (5) of the articles drawn from herein, which are now referenced via main artice links at the top of each section heading.

replies: text: I don't intend to pursue this as I have no vested interest in the article, only to further stress the point that each one of the entities you reference already has a full-blown article and therefore doesn't require such in-depth treatment herein (hence the purpose of the main article links).

Talk:Diwani

message: "Nastaʿlīq was historically used for writing Ottoman Turkish, where it is known as tâlik (not to be confused with a totally different Persian style, also called taʿliq).
Nastaliq is the core script of the Persian writing tradition, and equally important in the areas under its cultural influence. Notably the languages of Afghanistan (Dari, Uzbek, Turkmen, etc.), Pakistan (Punjabi, Urdu, Saraiki, Kashmiri, etc.), India (Urdu, Rekhta), and the Turkic Uyghur language of the Chinese province of Xinjiang, rely on Nastaliq. Under the name Taʿliq, it was also beloved by Ottoman calligraphers who developed the Diwani and Ruqah styles from it."
Diwani is based off and an extension of Persian Arabic script Nastaleeq. It is not something invented by Turks, however the it's unique style or difference from Nastaleeq is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.104.208 (talk) 02:20, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
