- My name "Silvan" in some Asian writing systems -
Japanese:
- No 'l', 'v' and separate-'s' exist in the Japanese language, so in the Hiragana and Katakana syllabary I am using: the 'ru', like the typical way the Japanese seem to swap the l's and r's (when in fact their sound is pronounced somewhere in between the two, and the 'ru' sound is closest to our 'l'), and the 'fu' combined with a small 'a', plus the character 'shi' for combining the 's' and 'i' sound
and thereby writing my name as: "shi_ru_fu-a_n".
- I can use various Kanji with different meanings:
| shi: |
resource, capital, fund
|
chronicle, history
|
| ru: |
remain, attach, fix
|
style, run, flow
|
| fu: |
help, support, protect
|
man, husband
|
rich, wealth, abundant
|
wind, air, manner, appearance
|
| an: |
proposal, idea, plan
|
calm, quiet, tranquil, reassured
|
- Combining these Kanji characters I can choose from the following options (among many others):
or:
Thai:
- My name "Silvan" written in Thai:
- Chompu wrote (using 'w'):
ซ
ิ
ล
ว
า
น
- Also possible (using 'f') is:
ซ
ิ
ล
ฟ
า
น
- No 'v' and 'i' exist in the Thai language, so here I am using a 'w' or 'f', plus the accent ิ above the 's' ('sor so' character) for a short 'i' sound.
- Esthetically I prefer the round version of the Thai character 'sor so' (ซ), which you can see in the picture above.
- Some options using different font-types:
