Thank you so much! I originally just organized this for myself, but after more things I added, I really think this could be moved to a Wikia page in some way. The music icon is really cool!

The only thing left for me to finish is the last 7 EPILI characters, which can be done today, since I already double-checked the pronunciations. It took really long because there are certain dialect-related problems when transliterating, so I want to make sure that I typed in the one heard in-game. No automatic online transliteration software exists (it being a branch-off variety of Hokkien, or Southern Min), so I have to check with someone proficient.

The intriguing part of Min Nan language is that it doesn't have a proper writing system until Roman alphabets are used to record the words said. Still, more often Min Nan language uses Chinese as means to approximate what's being said, and the speakers naturally know what words to use when they see them.
