Text of the page (random words):
er 1957 of a draft version by the state council l to its final form being approved by the state council in september 1978 m to being accepted in 1982 by the international organization for standardization as the standard for transcribing chinese 36 john defrancis has described mao zedong s belief that pinyin would eventually replace chinese characters but this has not come to pass and in fact such a plan had already ceased together with the end of latinxua sinwenz movement 37 jyutping edit this paragraph is an excerpt from jyutping edit the linguistic society of hong kong cantonese romanization scheme n also known as jyutping is a romanisation system for cantonese developed in 1993 by the linguistic society of hong kong lshk tongyong pinyin edit main article tongyong pinyin tongyong pinyin is a system with some usage in taiwan it was introduced by the linguist yu bor chuan in 1998 and was the official romanization of mandarin in taiwan between 2002 and 2008 the system was developed in part to make the taiwanese identity more distinct from china s the latter of which uses hanyu pinyin whether to use this system is considered a political issue in taiwan 38 39 variations in pronunciation edit the chinese and japanese repository stated that romanization would standardize the different pronunciations chinese often had for one word which was common for all mostly unwritten languages contributor rev james summers wrote in 1863 those who know anything of the rude and unwritten languages of the other parts of the world will have no difficulty in imagining the state of the spoken dialects of china the most various shades of pronunciation are common arising from the want of the analytic process of writing by means of an alphabet a chinaman has no conception of the number or character of the sounds which he utters when he says mau ping indeed one man will call it maw mor bing and another mo piang without the first man perceiving the difference by the people themselves these changes are considered to be simple variations which are of no consequence and if we look into the english of chaucer s or of wickliffe s time or the french of marco polo s age we shall find a similar looseness and inattention to correct spelling because these languages were written by few and when the orthography was unsettled times are changed every poor man may

et al translators bloomington 1994 present indiana university press which uses wade giles for all historic names including the author wade s system introduced in 1859 was used by the british consular service for example it avoids the orthographic alternations between y and i w and u wei and ui o and uo etc that are part of the pinyin and wade giles systems such as for example lin 1972 and simon 1975 seybolt and chiang 1979 believe that a second reason was that subsequent to the promulgation of the gwoyeu romatzyh system in 1928 the increasingly conservative national government led by the kuomintang lost interest in and later suppressed efforts to alter the traditional script 15 norman 1988 in the final analysis gwoyeu romatzy failed not because of defects in the system itself but because it never received the official support it would have required to succeed perhaps more importantly it was viewed by many as the product of a group of elitist enthusiasts and lacked any real popular base of support 16 the soviet experiment with latinized chinese came to an end in 1936 when most of the chinese immigrant workers were repatriated to china norman 1988 p 261 defrancis 1950 reports that despite the end of latinxua in the u s s r it is the opinion of the soviet scholars who worked on the system that it was an unqualified success p 108 two different translations of the speech are at zhou 1958 and zhou 1979 if intended to supersede the chinese written characters then the ease of writing the pronunciation including tones in a cursive script would be critical mao zedong and the red guards were strongly opposed to the use of the latin alphabet 29 for example an american delegation that visited china in 1974 reported that the principal uses of pinyin at present are to facilitate the learning of chinese characters and to facilitate the speed of putonghua popularization primarily for chinese speakers but also for minorities and foreigners 30 it was adopted and promulgated by the fifth session of the first national people s congress on 11 february 1958 34 the 1957 draft was titled first draft of phonetic writing system of chinese in latin alphabet while the 1958 version was titled phonetic scheme of chinese 35 the crucial difference was the removal of the term wenzi writing system this explicitly indicated that the system was no longer intended to eventually replace chinese written characters but only to act as an auxiliary to assist pronunciation as a consequence of this approval pinyin began to be used in all foreign language publications for chinese proper names as well as by foreign affairs and the xinhua news agency from 1 january 1979 33 chinese 香港語言學學會粵語拼音方案 jyutping hoeng1 gong2 jyu5 jin4 hok6 hok6 wui2 jyut6 jyu5 ping3 jam1 fong1
