9781333895822: The Standard System of Mandarin Romanization, Vol. 1

Synopsis

This book documents the findings and insights of the Fourth Triennial Meeting of the Educational Association, held in Shanghai during May, 1902. During the meeting, attendees voted unanimously to adopt a common system of Romanization for the Mandarin language, with follow-up meetings and much deliberation from Committee members leading to the development of the proposed system provided within. The system aims to provide a method of writing that is not tied to any particular dialect of Mandarin, allowing for a cohesive, uniform text comprehensible by Mandarin speakers in any region. Through detailed comparative Sound Tables and Syllabary, the book presents a nuanced, comprehensive approach to the subject of Mandarin Romanization. This nuanced approach, presented in service to a more cohesive linguistic standard, proves essential for the advancement of learning and literacy in Mandarin-speaking China.
