I would like to enable the option "first=poj" analogously to "first=j". The "first=j" option allows Cantonese romanisations to be given before Mandarin romanisations, in articles where Cantonese is more relevant. The proposed "first=poj" option would allow Hokkien romanisation (POJ) to be given first, in articles where Hokkien more relevant, e.g. for [[Bukit Ho Swee]], [[Hong-Gah Museum]], [[Tamsui District]].

I believe this could be achieved by adding the following:

From line 114, after:

local j1 = false -- whether Cantonese Romanisations go first

insert:

local poj1 = false -- whether Hokkien Romanisations go first

From line 121, after:

if (testChar == "j") then

j1 = true

end

insert:

if (testChar == "poj") then

poj1 = true

end

(The variable is named "testChar" but it is defined by the regular expression "%a+", which will match not only a single character but also longer strings.)

(On a separate note, there seems to be a superfluous space before "end" on lines 120 and 123.)

From line 137, after:

if (j1) then

orderlist[4] = "j"

orderlist[5] = "cy"

orderlist[6] = "sl"

orderlist[7] = "p"

orderlist[8] = "tp"

orderlist[9] = "w"

end

insert:

if (poj1) then

orderlist[4] = "poj"

orderlist[5] = "p"

orderlist[6] = "tp"

orderlist[7] = "w"

orderlist[8] = "j"

orderlist[9] = "cy"

orderlist[10] = "sl"

end

This puts POJ before the Mandarin and Cantonese romanisations. [[User:Freelance Intellectual|Freelance Intellectual]] ([[User talk:Freelance Intellectual|talk]]) 08:49, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
