It is used by

  1. {{ja-new}} (which uses it substitutively)
  2. {{ja-verbconj}} and its subtemplates
  3. {{ja-noun}}, {{ja-verb}}, {{ja-adj}}, {{ja-pos}}, and {{ja-verb-suru}} which detect the script, generate romanizations, generate sort keys
  4. {{ja-readingcat}}, {{ja-readascat}} to generate romanizations, sort keys, count morae, perform checks
  5. {{ja-readings}} (Module:ja-kanji-readings) to generate romanizations and to convert from hiragana to katakana for on readings in Module:ja/data/jouyou-yomi
