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 [[Taioaan Jidpurn sitai|Japanese rule]], when the use of POJ was suppressed in preference to [[Taioaan-guo 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 compiling Taiwanese words using a spelling system that would become the [[Taiwanese Modern Spelling System]] (TMSS). One of the students, [[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. | In 1943, four classmates in Tainan 2nd Middle School, began compiling Taiwanese words using a spelling system that would become the [[Taiwanese Modern Spelling System]] (TMSS).
