Comment[edit]

I don't see any obvious reason why traditional Japanese music would use a german translation to describe itself... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.232.17.195 (talk) 11:20, 5 July 2009 (UTC) -- OK I've added the citation. --Maximilianh (talk) 11:31, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Min-yo" folk music[edit]

The term "minyo," composed of Chinese characters for people/folk (民 pronounced "min") and music (謠 pronounced "yō"), are also a Korean term for folk music. Despite the same Chinese character origin, the words are usually pronounced a little differently between Japanese and Korean (and Chinese), but I suppose "minyo" is an exception.

Anyhow, it would be good if someone better informed can broaden out the entry to include information on other East Asian folk music. I came to this page from the Korean Wikipedia page for minyo ("민요") by clicking English language tab, expecting to see an entry for folk music, but instead it goes on about Japanese folk music with German something or other - seems incongruous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.228.80.90 (talk) 01:39, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Etymology[edit]

Hi, fellow Wikipedians. I've fixed the info related to the etymology of the word. As some of you noticed, Min'yō is a word derived from Chinese characters. However, its incidence in Japan and even China is rare until 1890. Fortunately, I was able to consult the original source and the author pointed out that Min'yō was popularized as a direct loan-word (also called 'calque') from German Volkfslied (in the previous version, it said that came from 'Renajay', an alleged German word that I didn't found meaning). --Johnsdisc (talk) 00:12, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
