What Is "Pinyin"?

August 04, 2009
What is "pinyin"?

From Wikipedia:
Pinyin, or more formally Hanyu Pinyin, is currently the most commonly used Romanization system for Standard Mandarin. Hanyu means the Chinese language, and pinyin means "phonetics", or more literally, "spelling sound" or "spelled sound". It is used to teach standard pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese to schoolchildren in China as well as to foreign learners.

Initials and finals are the fundamental elements in pinyin. Nearly each Chinese syllable can be spelled with exactly one initial followed by one final. Click Here for a pinyin table which is a complete listing of all Hanyu Pinyinsyllables used in Standard Mandarin.

There are 4 basic tones in Hanyu:
