Hepburn romanization 平文式罗马字
(重定向自Hepburn system)
The Hepburn romanization system(Japanese:ヘボン式ローマ字,Hepburn:Hebon-shiki Rōmaji) is named after James Curtis Hepburn, who used it to transcribe the sounds of the Japanese language into the Latin alphabet in the third edition of his Japanese–English dictionary, published in 1887. The system was originally proposed by the Romanization Club(罗马字会,Rōmajikai) in 1885. The revised edition by Romaji-Hirome-kai in 1908 is called "standard style romanization"(标准式ローマ字,Hyōjun-shiki Rōmaji) and this system has been used as the Hepburn system in Japan traditionally.
