That's why we have conventions: to avoid wasting time arguing about which style to use here and there. I wasted more time reading this article than I will ever waste with lower/upper case naming issues.

By the way, Arabic has 4 letter forms, Japanese has 3 sets of characters, Chinese has 2 character forms, Vietnamese and some other romanized Asian languages have many diacritics (for the tones) which change the meaning of words,... Latin alphabet as it is used in English is by far the simplest of all (to use, teach or learn).

a lot of swes in China use pinyin (which is a romanization system for mandarin Chinese) for naming variables/func/etc

basic vocabulary such as time/test/thread/doc/… might be used along with Pinyin as well, so you will see things like dingdan_time, testJieguo, as a Chinese myself, I found this really hard to understand without a broader context since Chinese is a tonal language..
