Pinyin
Hanyu Pinyin (), often shortened to just pinyin, is the official romanization system for Standard Mandarin Chinese in China, and to some extent, in Singapore and Malaysia. It is often used to teach Mandarin, normally written in Chinese form, to learners already familiar with the Latin alphabet. The system includes four diacritics denoting tones, but pinyin without tone marks is used to spell Chinese names and words in languages written in the Latin script, and is also used in certain computer input methods to enter Chinese characters. The word ' () literally means " Han language" (i.e. Chinese language), while ' () means "spelled sounds". The pinyin system was developed in the 1950s by a group of Chinese linguists including Zhou Youguang and was based on earlier forms of romanizations of Chinese. It was published by the Chinese Government in 1958 and revised several times. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) adopted pinyin as an international st ...

Double Dot (diacritic)
Diacritical marks of two dots , placed side-by-side over or under a letter, are used in a number of languages for several different purposes. The most familiar to English language speakers are the diaeresis and the umlaut, though there are numerous others. For example, in Albanian, represents a schwa. Such dots are also sometimes used for stylistic reasons (as in the family name Brontë or the band name Mötley Crüe). In modern computer systems using Unicode, the two-dot diacritics are almost always encoded identically, having the same code point. For example, represents both ''a-umlaut'' and ''a-diaeresis''. Their appearance in print or on screen may vary between typefaces but rarely within the same typeface. Uses Diaeresis The "diaeresis" diacritic is used to mark the separation of two distinct vowels in adjacent syllables when an instance of diaeresis (or hiatus) occurs, so as to distinguish from a digraph or diphthong. For example in the spelling "coöperate", th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
