Japanese entry

@Eirikr, suzukaze-c: Shouldn't the Japanese entry be at the shinjitai form? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:19, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Hmm, this is listed at the JA WT (ja:鶯) as "extended shinjitai", and all my dictionaries to hand use the 鶯 form. Even the MS IME seems to prefer the kyūjitai, although the shinjitai does appear further down the list of candidates.

@suzukaze-c, TAKASUGI Shinji, any insights? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 00:32, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

As Japanese Wiktionary states, 鶯 is the official form and 鴬 is an unofficial simplified form. See an article by Sanseido. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 02:09, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Maybe not. cf. 篭 —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 03:53, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Also "warbler" in Chinese?

Can't this also be translated into "warbler" in Chinese? 173.88.246.138 22:31, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
