The [[Pe̍h-ōe-jī]] (POJ) system, introduced in the 19th century, provides a basis for the phonetic transcription of Taiwanese using the Latin alphabet and developed a significant user base. However this user base declined during Japanese rule, when the use of POJ was suppressed in preference to [[Taioangie kana|katakana]], and during the Kuomintang era of martial law, during which Standard Mandarin was promoted. | The [[Pe̍h-ōe-jī]] (POJ) system, introduced in the 19th century, provides a basis for the phonetic transcription of Taiwanese using the Latin alphabet and developed a significant user base.

In 1943, four classmates in Tainan 2nd Middle School, began collecting Taiwanese words using a spelling system that would become the [[Taiwanese Modern Spelling System]] (TMSS). Having learned POJ at a young age, [[Liim Keahioong]] developed TMSS to avoid the diacritic markings of POJ and the difficulty of inputting Chinese characters with the technology available. TMSS served as the basis for Modern Literal Taiwanese (MLT), which Dr. Liim first made public in the United States in 1986. MLT is currently used by the [[Washington DC Taiwanese School]] | In 1943, four classmates in Tainan 2nd Middle School, began collecting Taiwanese words using a spelling system that would become the [[Taiwanese Modern Spelling System]] (TMSS).
