I need some simple labels that I can use in data collection & statistics, so preferably one word, that includes all the Chinese-based ways of writing (kanji, hiragana, katakana, occasionally man’yōgana & hentaigana too) in contrast with the Latin-based category (for which we have ‘rōmaji’). Is there such a word or must I be content with ‘kana & kanji’?
I am also examining other things, such as language, so ‘Japanese’ vs ‘foreign’ are taken, and so are ‘western’ vs ‘eastern’ and ‘traditional’ vs ‘modern’.
(And yes, I know such dichotomies are simplistic, but that’s outside the point. For now I just need a convenient label) Any ideas are appreciated\~
