<div dir="ltr">Hoi,<br>In this thread it is stated that keeping the redundant information of Latn makes sense. The information that pinyin and Legge is exclusive to Mandarin is not redundant. In my opinion, this should be made clear. Consequently I think if it must be then zh-cmn-Latn-pinyin or zh-cmn-Latn-legge is a better choice. And yes, in my opinion the Latn is indeed redundant .. but if you must have it ....<br>
