I can't read 'em either, my friend and I'd be willing to bet that lion's share of minority personae can't read or write in their persona's languages anyway. It would be nice if we had specialists in these languages for heraldry purposes, but it's just not realistic.
As an aside you might find interesting, the book I recently finished reading compared a number of texts describing the same series of events, including whether third hand Portuguese phonetic renderings of Japanese names (or Japanese renderings of Portuguese names) had any bearing on who might have actually been present, Nautaquim/Naotoki, for example.
