	Cantonese and Pinyin Pronounciation Guide
		Of the nineteen initials in Cantonese, ch, p, t, ck, and kw are aspirated while b, d, g, gw, and j are unaspirated.
		In pronouncing Cantonese, be aware of the importance of tones in conveying meaning.
		A syllable in Pinyin consists of three elements (1) an initial or the beginning sound, (2) a final, the ending of a syllable, (3) a tone which characterizes the whole syllable (much like the above Cantonese).

	Qwika - Zhuyin
		On the Chinese mainland, Zhuyin Fuhao was superseded by the pinyin system promulgated by the People's Republic of China, although the pronunciation of words in standard dictionaries are given in both pinyin and Zhuyin.
		Unlike pinyin, the sole purpose for zhuyin in elementary education is to teach Standard Mandarin pronunciation to children.
		The tone marks are similar to the later developed Pinyin tone symbols, except that the first tone has no symbolization at all, and the neutral tone appears as a fl dot.

	Standard Cantonese at AllExperts
		One shift that affected Cantonese in the past was the loss of distinction between the alveolar and the alveolo-palatal (sometimes pronounced as postalveolar) sibilants, which occurred during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
		Regional/local dialects (including Cantonese) in mainland China and Taiwan tend to be used primarily between relatives and friends in informal situations, with Standard Mandarin being used for formal purposes, in the media, and as the language of education.

	Yin & Yang and the I Ching
		First of all, the latter uses an adapted Pinyin alphabet, where "x" is used for "s" and "g" for final "k." Second, although Pinyin introduced the use of Greek-like accents to show tones, the Dictionary reverts to the old Wade-Giles way of simply numbering the tones with superscripts.
		Pinyin, besides the phonemic redundancy, has the drawback that the sound of a number of letters (like q and x) has nothing to do with how they are pronounced in most Western languages.
		Since Pinyin was willing to pick phonetic values of the Latin alphabet from different languages, the undotted Turkish I might have been considered for the "i" sound, though this is not available in HTML and is, as noted, unnecessary.

	Differences between Chinese Mandarin and Cantonese
		Cantonese is mainly spoken in Guangdong (where Guangzhou/Canton is the capital) and Guangxi provinces and most of the overseas Chiinese communities in Autralia, Europe, North America and other parts of the world.
		Cantonese is the most extensively spoken Chinese dialect after Mandarin because of the strong influence of Hong Kong's economy and culture(pop songs, TV programs and movies) and also because more Cantonese people went abroad in the early years.
		But the colloquial Cantonese written down in words is sometimes hard to understand for Mandarin speaking people because Cantonese use lots of different expressions in their daily oral Cantonese.

	Writing in western European languages that deal with China
		Pinyin has both u and ü, but since only ü and not u can occur directly after the letters y, j, q,or x, the hatless u in syllables such as xu, yu, xue etc., is automatically ü.
		Pinyin zh very simply derives from this mechanism: if an h is added to the Pinyin's dental sibilants z, c, or s, they become retroflexes.
		The sounds represented by Pinyin p t k (also ch c and q) are aspirated; the sounds represented by Pinyin b d g (also zh z and j) are not aspirated and not voiced either.
