Definitely still not one-to-one, as you pointed out. A pinyin string with tone will map to lots of characters. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ch%C4%81o#Mandarin https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/zh%C4%81o#Mandarin The places that I've seen names printed in native scripts are Donald Knuth's books (look at the TAOCP bibliography, with native script names all over the place), and, very recently, the Rakudo Perl 6 release notes. https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/ I thought Knuth regarded it more as a matter of respect than of academic career benefit or scholarliness, but it has all of those virtues, although at least the Cyrillic and Hebrew ones have fairly low transliteration ambiguity. |
