	Pinyin - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Pinyin is a romanization and not an anglicization; that is, it uses Roman letters to represent sounds in Standard Mandarin.
		Pinyin uses the Roman alphabet, hence the pronunciation is relatively straightforward for Westerners.
		Computer systems long provided the most convincing argument in favor of pinyin; early computers were able to display nothing but 7-bit ASCII (essentially the 26 letters, the 10 digits, and a handful of punctuation marks).

	Chinese Postal Map Romanization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chinese Postal Map Romanization (Traditional Chinese: 郵政式拼音; Pinyin: Yóuzhèngshì Pīnyīn) refers to the system of romanization for Chinese place names which came into use in the late Qing dynasty and was officially sanctioned by the Imperial Postal Joint-Session Conference (帝國郵電聯席會議), which was held in Shanghai in the spring of 1906.
		This system of romanization was retained after the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1912 and since it was in use in the official postal atlas of the Republic of China, it remained the most common way of rendering Chinese place names in the West for a large part of the twentieth century.
		The system was based on Wade-Giles for postal purposes, especially for placenames in the official postal atlas, letters and stamps.

		Pinyin (Chinese: 拼音, pīnyīn) literally means "join (together) sounds" (a less literal translation being "phoneticize", "spell" or "transcription") in Chinese and usually refers to Hànyǔ Pīnyīn (汉语拼音, literal meaning: "Han language pinyin"), which is a system of romanization (phonemic notation and transcription to Roman script) for Standard Mandarin.
		Pinyin was approved in 1958 and adopted in 1979 by the government in the People's Republic of China.
		It is important to maintain the distinction that pinyin is a romanization and not an anglicization; that is, it is equally applicable for transcription into any language that uses a Roman alphabet, but that the precise pronunciation need not match that of any of these languages.

		Hanyu Pinyin was adopted in 1979 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as the standard romanization for modern Chinese (ISO-7098:1991).
		For example, the sounds indicated in pinyin by b and g are not as heavily voiced as in the Western use of the Latin script.
		And Pinyin, as an accurate and unambiguous written representation of the sounds of Mandarin, should not be notably more ambiguous than other languages written with an alphabet.

		Wade-Giles, sometimes abbreviated Wade, is a Romanization (phonetic notation and transliteration) system for the Chinese language based on the form of Mandarin used in Beijing.
		It was the main system of transliteration in the English-speaking world for most of the 20th century, replacing the Nanjing-based romanization systems that had been common until late in the 19th century.
		Hanyu Pinyin addresses this issue by employing the Latin letters customarily used for voiced stops, unneeded in Mandarin, to represent the unaspirated stops: b, p, d, t, g, k, zh/j, ch/q.

		Part B of this document describes the Pinyin system, in terms of which the other two systems are described.
		The official "Pinyin" ("phonetic") system of Romanization is one of the most practical ever devised for Chinese in that PY spellings (1) are generally shorter than spellings in other systems, (2) are closer to Chinese language intuitions than other systems are, and (3) allow polysyllabic compounds to be written together with ambiguity about syllable boundaries.
		Thus in some systems of romanization (including Wade-Giles), the letters b,d, and g are avoided as implying voicing; both series are spelt p t k, and the aspiration is shown with an apostrophe (p', t', k') or an h (ph, th, kh).

	languagehat.com: Comment on WADE VS. GILES.
		It seems commonsensical that people forced to learn different writing systems or two or three different languages might end up having less time to learn more substantive topics, but a counterargument is that people who have developed the habit at learning and study at an early age will have strengthened their learning power and habits.
		Cultural unity is the main explanation The writing system is a big part of that, though there are also the Chinese religious hodgepodge, the Chinese family system, and the various axioms from the high culture which have filtered into the oral tradition.
		The current logographic writing system is a compromise that allows as many diverse regionalects as possible to intercommunicate while not having the written representation of the language be too different from their respective spoken languages (since phonetic distinctions are not exposed and vocabulary and word order differences are small enough to be tolerated).

		The word "Mǐnyuè" was derived by combining "Mǐn" (閩/闽; POJ: bân), perhaps an ethnic name and associated with the Chinese word for barbarians (蠻/蛮; pinyin: mán; POJ: bân), and "Yue", after the State of Yue, a Spring and Autumn Period kingdom in Zhejiang Province to the north.

		That page produced results in two systems: Tongyong Pinyin 通用拼音, in which the word is spelled “Dasyue” and Hanyu Pinyin 漢語拼音 in which the word is spelled “Daxue”.
		It is interesting that Hanyu Pinyin is provided as an alternative, since the Tongyong is favored by the ruling party (the DPP); however, it makes sense since several regions of Taiwan (including KMT ruled Taipei and Taipei county) now use Hanyu Pinyin.
		Since the Postal Service no longer seems to use a modified Wade-Giles, I suppose the university should pick either Tongyong Pinyin or Hanyu Pinyin for the address; but such standardization would just seem so un-Taiwanese.

		What has confused me for the longest time is that I had no idea what romanization system was being used to come up with the spelling “Hwa.” It is certainly not one of the four main systems used in Taiwan.
		In all three of those romanization systems the character 華 is spelled “hua.” This spelling is the same as in Hanyu Pinyin 漢語拼音 (the system used everywhere outside of Taiwan and in some of Taiwan’s cities, such as Taipei, where KMT politicians have defied the central government).
		In some ways, it would be the ideal phonetic system for Taiwan since it is much easier to make a case for its superiority over Hanyu Pinyin due to the way tones are encoded in the spelling.

		This is exactly why I find zhuyin fuhao to be a superior phonetic system for Mandarin than pinyin fuhao, because it doesn't come with the baggage of the roman alphabet.
		The only advantage I see to zhuyin is that they consistently put tone markers on zhuyin while you frequently see pinyin without tone markers (though there's no logical reason why pinyin can't be consistently written with tone markers,) and beginner students often aren't careful enough with memorrizing their tones.
		In the case of Pinyin, it was developed in China, and is actually used as a tool in schools to teach Mandarin pronunciation.
