『漢字廃止で韓国に何が起きたか』(呉 善花:PHP研究所)2009/11/04 18:31

 新書であり、とても軽い本なので、読むのが遅い私でも、2日くらいで読み終えました。
 たまたま、書店で見つけたもので、小難しい事は抜きにして、それでいて興味深いことが書かれているようだったので、手に取りました。

 タイトルだけを見ると、韓国やハングルに興味が無ければ、放っておかれそうですが、「漢字」に対する興味が少しでもあれば、読んでみて損はないかもしれません。

 一昔前、恐らく、韓国の新聞紙面をテレビで写している映像を見たんだと思います。そこには、漢字交じりのハングルで書かれており、ハングルがひらがなに変われば、日本語の文章と変わらない、そんなイメージがありました。
 そんなことはすっかりと忘れていたのですが、最近目にするのは、漢字交じりでない、ハングルだけで書かれたものばかりなので、なんとなく不思議に思っていたのです。
 ただ単に、関心が無かったから何も知らなかった、という恥ずかしい話なのですが、国の政策として漢字が廃止されていたなんて、考えもしませんでした。

 日本でも同じように漢字が廃止されたら、なんて想像しただけでもゾッとしませんか。
 全部、ひらがな(カタカナ)で書かれた文章なんて、読みにくくて仕方が無いでしょう。

 そういえば、日本でも、過去に似たような議論があったようです。
 日本の場合は、漢字を廃止するどころか、かなも使わず、ローマ字による表記だけに統一する、というものだったように思います。
 大した記憶が無いので、ちょっと調べてみました。
 そうすると、「社団法人日本ローマ字会(NRK)」というのが存在することが分かりました。
 てっきり、過去の話かと思ったのですが、現存している法人なので、決して過去の話では無いようです。
 そこのホームページでは、ローマ字による日本語の表記の仕方についても説明があり、それを『「99式」日本語のローマ字表記方式』と呼ぶそうです。
 最初は、ちょっと驚きました。
 まだ、こんなことをしている人たちが居るのかと思って・・・。
 しかし、よく見てみると、どうやら勘違いのようで、日本語表記をローマ字に転換しよう、という物ではなく、あくまでもローマ字表記への「翻字」の手引きであって、カナ漢字交じりが「正書法」である、という考えのようです。

 もう少し調べてみると、「アメリカ教育使節団報告書」というものの中で、漢字かな表記を廃止し、ローマ字表記に統一するという”提言”がされた事がわかりました。(Wikipediaより)
 批判が多く、その意見は退けられたとの事なので、それ程、危機的な状況ではなかったのかもしれません。
 終戦直後の話なので、日本のアメリカ化へのひとつの可能性だった、ということなのでしょう。

 だいぶ、話がそれましたが、漢字文化のすばらしさや、漢字は元々は外来文字ではあるが、日本独自の文字として進化していることなどが、よく分かる本です。
