Ready to bet your money on *that* as a backup phrase in your own hands?=C2=
=A0 No?=C2=A0 Then please, stop demanding that others risk *their* money on=
 the inverse case.<br>

If you cheat here by having studied Japanese, then remember that many Japan=
ese people know English and other European languages, too.=C2=A0 Then think=
 of how much money would be lost by your non-Japanese-literate family and f=
riends=E2=80=94if BIP 39 had only Japanese wordlists, and your folks needed=
 to wrestle with the above phrases as their =E2=80=9Cmnemonics=E2=80=9D.<br=
>
<br>
In such cases, the phrases cannot be called =E2=80=9Cmnemonics=E2=80=9D at =
all.=C2=A0 A =E2=80=9Cmnemonic=E2=80=9D implies aid to memory.=C2=A0 Gibber=
ish in a wholly alien writing system is much worse even than transcribing p=
seudorandom hex strings.=C2=A0 The Japanese man in the quoted story, who wr=
ote =E2=80=9Caneter=E2=80=9D for =E2=80=9Camateur=E2=80=9D, was not dealing=
 with a *mnemonic*:=C2=A0 He was using the world=E2=80=99s most inefficient=
 means of making cryptic bitstrings *less* userfriendly.<br>

I began this thread with a quite simple request:=C2=A0 Is =E2=80=9C=E6=97=
=A5=E6=9C=AC=E8=AA=9E=E2=80=9D an appropriate string for identifying the Ja=
panese language to Japanese users?=C2=A0 And what of the other strings I po=
sted for other languages?<br>
<br>
I asked this as an implementer working on my own instance of the greatest g=
uard against vendor lock-in and stale software:=C2=A0 Independent implement=
ations.=C2=A0 =E2=80=94=C2=A0 I asked, because obviously, I myself do not s=
peak all these different languages; and I want to implement them all.=C2=A0=
 *All.*<br>
<br>
Some replies have been interesting in their own right; but thus far, nobody=
 has squarely addressed the substance of my question.<br>
<br>
Most worrisome is that much of the discussion has veered into criticism of =
multi-language support.=C2=A0 I opened with a question about other language=
s, and I am getting replies which raise a hue and cry of =E2=80=9CEnglish o=
nly!=E2=80=9D<br>
<br>
Though I am fluent and literate in English, I am uninterested in ever imple=
menting any standard of this nature which is artificially restricted to Eng=
lish.=C2=A0 I am fortunate; for as of this moment, we have a standard calle=
d =E2=80=9CBIP 39=E2=80=9D which has seven non-English wordlists, and four =
more pending in open pull requests (#432, #442, #493, #621).<br>
<br>
I request discussion of language identification strings appropriate for use=
 with that standard.<br>
<br>
(P.S., I hope that my system did not mangle anything in the foregoing.=C2=
=A0 I have seen weird copypaste behaviour mess up decomposed characters.=C2=
=A0 I thought of this after I searched for and collected some visually fasc=
inating phrases; so I tried to normalize these to NFC...=C2=A0 It should go=
 without saying, easyseed output the Japanese perfectly!)<div class=3D"m_-6=
