	Intermediate Cantonese
		The use of traditional Chinese/Cantonese characters in addition to the Yale romanization system is a reasonable solution because it gives the learner who reads some Chinese/Cantonese characters an additional tool to comprehend authentic native Cantonese.
		Unlike the Cantonese Yale romanization texts in this program and the texts in traditional/simplified Chinese characters in Beginning Cantonese, traditional Chinese/Cantonese characters are not clickable and linked to audio recordings in native Cantonese and English translation or associated with any linguistic or cultural footnotes.
		Second, the texts in Cantonese Yale romanization and in traditional Chinese/Cantonese characters appear sequentially in the same window, which prevents them from being displayed one above the other or side by side.

	Instructions for Concordancing East Asian E-Texts using Concordance (version 3.2)
		Sorting by "word endings (string)" is also possible in Chinese and Japanese if the source text has word-spacing, as in the case of the transcription of e-texts with spacing between (polysyllabic) words, as shown below, with full concordance of an e-text from the Taiwanese-Putonghua corpus at University of Pennsylvania's Linguistic Data Consortium.

		For Hanyu Pinyin and a comparison with other romanization systems, see Mark Swofford's Pinyin: A Guide to the Writing of Mandarin Chinese in Romanization, where he provides information on Hanyu Pinyin, MPS2, Gwoyeu Romatzyh (Guoyu Luomazi), Sin Wenz (Xin Wenzi), Tongyong Pinyin, Wade-Giles, and Yale romanization.
		In addition, he has an online Chinese Romanization Converter, a Java applet for converting among Pinyin, Wade-Giles, and Yale romanization systems (plus a couple of less common systems).

	[Asis-l] Wisconsin Chapter Presentation
		In the year 2000, American libraries converted from the Wade-Giles to the pinyin system of romanization of the Chinese language, to come into conformance with the worldwide standard.
		Through the use of romanization, we are able to file and index non-roman information in our library catalogs.
		The presentation will describe the planning of the project, the mechanics of the conversion, some of the complexities that had to be dealt with, and the challenge of finding and converting romanized Chinese text on non-Chinese and premarc cataloging records.

	Romaniztion of Canontese Yale
		Most of the people interested in China and its culture certainly know, that there is a internationally used romanization system for, so called, Mandarin Chinese (which is the official language of modern China) – Pinyin.
		While an English speaking person will pronounce most of the “unofficial/amateur“ romanization quite correctly, the reader, whose mother tongue is not English will often distort the pronunciation. This is the case especially when the “unofficial/amateur“ romanization is placed in the non-English text due to different languages having different rules of writing and reading (pronunciation).
		It is used especially at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and by the New Asia-Yale-in-China Chinese Language Centre of the Chinese University.

	Overview of the pinyin conversion
		The process of converting Chinese-language bibliographic and authority records from the old Wade-Giles romanization to the commonly used pinyin romanization is under way.
		The overall situation with regard to Chinese romanization is complex, to say the least, and our database will be in a mixed state for some time to come.
		Corrections to commonly used headings will begin soon, but complete conversion of romanized Chinese will stretch into the indefinite future.

	Mr. Kong's Parlour: Daoism vs. Taoism
		Further complication arises from the fact that these romanizations are reflective of the pronunciation of Modern Standard Chinese—more commonly known as Mandarin—which is only one of many dialects of the Chinese language.
		Note the author's use of phrases like "existing words in English which come from Chinese words", and the assertion that the words in question are somehow "not Chinese anymore".
		The most popular system of romanization in the 19th century (when Daoism/Taoism first became widely studied in the West) was the Wade-Giles system.

	Review: Cantonese: A Comprehensive Grammar
		For cross-dialectal comparison between Cantonese and Mandarin, inclusion of Chinese characters would have made it much easier for those who know standard Chinese to see at a glance which are indigenous Cantonese words and expressions, and which are simply different modern reflexes in the pronunciation of the same Chinese characters.
		Cantonese: A Comprehensive Grammar, which is part of the publisher’s Routledge Grammars series, aims at a broad spectrum of readers: from language learners to teachers, speech therapists and translators/interpreters, and to linguists (broadly construed) interested in Cantonese per se or in making cross-dialectal, cross-linguistic comparisons.
		The shortest Cantonese syllables are those that are both checked (ending in -p, -t, or -k) and has a short (lax) vowel in the nucleus; these syllables average 86 milliseconds.

	New University Library
		Romanization represents the sound of the Chinese, Japanese, or Korean character; the same romanization may represent vastly different characters with different meanings.
		Most of libraries of the North America still have split files of Wade-Giles romanization and Pinyin romanization; therefore, the users are encouraged to use both romanizations for searching Chinese materials.
		Thus, the following Romanization Conversion Tables provide examples of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters to distinguish the sound of the word.

	Demographics of Taiwan
		The central government adopted Tongyong Pinyin as the official romanization in 2002 but local governments are permitted to override the standard as some have adopted Hanyu Pinyin and retained old romanizations that are commonly used.
		More than 18 million, the "native" Taiwanese are descendants of Chinese who migrated from Fujian and Guangdong Provinces on the mainland, primarily in the 17th and 19th centuries.
		The Wade-Giles system is commonly used for Chinese romanization on Taiwan, but Chinese romanization on Taiwan tends to be highly inconsistent.

	Language Difficulty Essay
		Because of the benefits of having romanization systems and the fact that the Chinese written system takes a less direct role in acquiring Chinese dialects for English speakers during the beginning phase, Mandarin and Cantonese do not rate the maximum possible difficulty score possible on the LDI scale.
		Cantonese does have a dominant romanization system, Yale Cantonese romanization, but there are other methods being used and others under development, and there is no system that has official support in the same way that Mandarin pinyin does.
		Whether or not a romanization is involved, Cantonese not having exact correspondence with written Chinese and Cantonese having a more difficult romanization makes it harder to learn for Mandarin speakers than Cantonese speakers learning Mandarin based on the written system criteria in the LDI.

	Wade Giles
		The resulting effort became the de facto standard for the romanization of Mandarin Chinese for the majority of the twentieth century.
		The Wade-Giles romanization system for Mandarin Chinese is the product of two British scholars: Sir Thomas Wade (August 25, 1818 - July 31, 1895) and Herbert Allen Giles (December 8, 1845 - February 13, 1935).
		Giles, who succeeded Wade as professor of Chinese at Cambridge, revised the romanization system Wade had developed.

		Please be advised that overseas Chinese (Hong Kongers, Taiwanese, Malaysian, Singaporean, etc etc) use neither the pinyin romanization system nor the simplified Chinese character system.
		Both are pronounced differently in Cantonese (indigenous dialect of Guangdong (pinyin)/Canton (Wade Giles) province and in Mandarin (pinyin).

	CJK
		The term CJKV is used to mean CJK plus Vietnamese, which used Chinese characters prior to adopting a written language solely on Romanization.
		There is much controversy among Chinese language specialists about the desirability and technical merit of the "Han unification" process used to map multiple Chinese and Japanese characters sets into a single set of unified glyphs.

	Romanization
		Romanization, also known as transliteration, is the process of using the Roman alphabet to spell foreign words as close to their actual pronunciation as possible.
		The variety of romanization techniques used to transliterate Mongolian caused such confusion that a loose standard was adopted in 1987.
		PINYIN uses a modified Roman alphabet to phonetically spell the proper pronunciation of Chinese characters.

		The romanization of Korean names is not standardized, so Koreans generally romanize their name according to their personal preference.
		Korean family names are influenced by Chinese family names, hence, as in Chinese, the term the hundred family names (baekseong; 백성; 百姓) means "the people" or "commoners." As with Chinese family names, almost all Korean family names have just one Hanja (hence are one syllable).
		A Korean personal name consists of a family name and a given name, both of which are generally composed of Hanja.
