Nantai uses the three writing systems of Japanese: [[w:Kanji|Kanji]], [[w:Katakana|Katakana]] and [[w:Hiragana|Hiragana]]. All three scripts have the same purpose as in Japanese, with Hiragana for grammar, Kanji for vocabulary and Katakana for foreign loanwords. | Nantai uses the three writing systems of Japanese: [[w:Kanji|Kanji]], [[w:Katakana|Katakana]] and [[w:Hiragana|Hiragana]].

Nantai has a very different romanisation system than [[w:Hepburn romanisation|Hepburn]], the romanisation system used in Japanese. The main romanisation system used in Nantai is called the [[Ōsugi-Min system|Ōsugi-Min]] system, and looks much more like [[w:Hanyu Pinyin|Hanyu Pinyin]] than Hepburn, mainly because diacritics are used to show high and low tones. | |||
