<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:break-hangul"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:#0C00">Even for phonetic scripts like Hangul, there are multiple transliteration methods (Yale, MR, RR) and a Korean speaker might
not be familiar with all of them, and even if they are, reading in Hangul is always much easier.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:break-hangul"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:#0C00">Even for non-Korean speakers, adding the original script in addition to Romanization increases cross-literature consistency.

</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">`Korean hat’ as <i>
kas </i>(Yale transcription) in one article but as <i>gat</i> (RR transcription) in another, having the Korean spelling in addition to Latin would enable the reader to acknowledge that they are the same lexeme.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:break-hangul"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:#0C00">Other than this practical reason, I would argue that adding the original script is in fact in line with the spirit of typology,

Korean, Japanese, certain Slavic languages, etc.). It might be a domain-specific thing (I've mostly been working with spatial semantics) but researchers in other domains may have been wondering about the same thing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I understand that adding another written representation to the Latin transliteration does not serve the endeavor of typology, which is based on segments that are ideally naturally produced (i.e.
spoken) and that especially non-phonemic/phonetic scripts do not add any value for the greater part of a broader audience of researchers and other readers. Instead, adding these scripts eats up space and may even be perceived as an unnecessary show-off with
something that looks pretty or exotic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Having studied in Taiwan, where Mandarin speakers even in the academic realm are often not familiar with Pinyin, the de-facto standard Latin transliteration of their language, I frequently witnessed
them struggle to read examples presented in their very own language if Chinese characters are missing. China, on the other hand, is arguably a rather rare case where the academically used transliteration (Pinyin with tone diacritics) does happen to be almost
the same as the most common input method on electronic devices (Pinyin without tone diacritics). I'm not sure if my observation in Taiwan generalizes well, but I wouldn't be surprised if fellow researchers from Thailand, Korea, Japan, Russia etc. struggled
to read their language in Latin transliteration. I'm actually quite surprised to see a discipline concerned with freeing itself from Eurocentric bias care so little about its accessibility to non-European contributors and readers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">That said, I may be overlooking something in addition to the few counter-points mentioned above. I do empathize with the argument that a push for naturalistic data might imply the wish to rid oneself
of the burden of written representation (but then we might as well just provide all examples of spoken data in IPA, which I have seen a few researchers do even for familiar IE languages). I would also understand the space question if it weren't for the fact
that everyone just reads PDFs now anyways. Layout/font-related issues should hardly pose a problem in the age of Unicode, either. Am I missing something, or are we really just being lazy?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

PS: I'm obviously talking about cases where the original script adds readability for native speakers. Whether or not to add less commonly used scripts like Javanese to raise awareness or for similar reasons, is probably a different topic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
