9780428117030: The Standard System of Mandarin Romanization (Classic Reprint): Introduction, Sound Table, and Syllabary

Synopsis

This book details a standard Romanization system developed by a committee for the Mandarin dialect of the Chinese language. It offers a comprehensive history of previous systems and explains how the new system was designed to address their shortcomings. The main reason for this new system is to create a standard and phonetic way to write Mandarin that can be easily understood by speakers of all dialects. The creators of this system recognized the need for a uniform method, especially when it comes to using Romanization for teaching Mandarin in schools and translating Mandarin texts in order to make them more accessible to people who do not speak or read Chinese. This book will be of interest to anyone studying Mandarin Chinese, as well as linguists and educators.
