I would actually be fairly pleased if this new spelling convention is adopted because i’m always in favor of simplifying spellings and getting rid of redundant letters that aren’t pronounced. English is notorious for having bad spelling, and tbh so does French, but the worst i’ve ever seen is probably Irish. I understand that there’s always historical and etymological reasons for odd spelling but sometimes you just gotta let the past be the past and simplify things.
How official is this?

Good enough for me!
There is no such thing as official English, so it’s only as official as it is popularly used by English speakers.
If you’re going to argue that the Chinese transliteration is “official”, then there’s no “g” either…
pinyín?
where Uygur one, Uygur all
The pixelated H on my phone looked like an N and I was so confused for like 20 seconds
