This glossary shows how Japanese names are written and pronounced in Standard Mandarin (Standard Chinese). Chinese transcription is written in Hanyu Pinyin, Japanese transcription in rōmaji. Japanese spelling may not match neither simplified, nor traditional Chinese script, due to the introduction of shinjitai kanji, which replaced kyūjitai kanji in 1947.
The Mandarin script is given first followed by the Chinese transcription, then Japanese (with ruby hiragana above), along with the Japanese transcription. English exonyms in most cases match Japanese endonyms without macrons, which are placed on top of Japanese vowels to show long vowels — an important exception is the country name itself. If the Simplified Chinese name (if different from the traditional) is followed by a slash.
Prefectures preceed their capital cities, however if their names are both identical, only the prefecture will be listed.
