| About Pinyin System |
| |
| Hanyu Pinyin (Chinese Pinyin) is developed for indicating Chinese
pronunciation in an alphabetical way. The Pinyin system consists
of alphabets, initials, finals and tones. There are altogether
26 alphabets, 21 initials, 39 finals and 4 tones (not including
"no tone") in mandarin Chinese. |
| |
| By using the latin simbols, pinyin helps a foreigner to pronounce
and remember mandarin syllables easily. However, as certain pronunciations
are "unique" in Chinese, it will sound quite odd if saying them
without listening to the correct ones beforehand, not to say
mandarin tones. |
