	Mandarin Chinese
		Zhùyīn fúhào, which is more popularly known as bopomofo (after the names of the first 4 symbols), is used in Taiwan in dictionaries, children's books, text books for foreigners and some newspapers and magazines to show the pronunciation of characters.
		A number of Chinese fonts are available in which all the characters have a bopomofo transcription attached to them.
		Bopomofo consists of 37 symbols derived from Chinese characters: 21 initials (consonants) and 16 finals (vowels, diphthongs, triphthongs or vowels + n or ng).

		Bopomofo is the most common name, and then there is zhùyin fúhào, zhùyin fo, or just zhùyin.
