	Wade-Giles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wade-Giles 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.
		Wade-Giles spellings for Taiwanese placenames and words long accepted in English usage are still used interchangeably in English language texts in both countries, however.
		However, the use of apostrophes preserves b, d, g, and j for the romanization of Chinese dialects containing voiced consonants, such as Shanghainese (which has a full set of voiced consonants) and Taiwanese (Hō-ló-oē) whose century-old Missionary Romanisation is similar to Wade-Giles.

	Taiwanese language and pronunciation
		Taiwanese is a dialect of Mĭn Nán (Southern Min) spoken in Taiwan.
		The ancestors of the majority of Taiwanese people came from the southern part of Fùjiàn province and their language is very similar to the language of that region, particular to the dialect of Xiàmén.
		Until the 1980s use of the Taiwanese language was banned in schools and the number of Taiwanese programmes on the radio and television was restricted.

	Wade-Giles - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		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.
		This origin has led to a general sense that the system is non-intuitive for non-specialists and not useful for teaching Chinese pronunciation.

	Qwika - Pinyin
		Pinyin is a romanization and not an anglicization; that is, it uses Roman letters to represent sounds in Standard Mandarin.
		Guangdong Romanization is a set of romanizations devised by the government of Guangdong province for Cantonese, Teochew, Hakka (Moiyen dialect), and Hainanese.
		This argument revolves around pinyin's unconventional use of Roman letters, of which the phonological values of some phonemes are quite different from that of most languages utilizing the Roman alphabet.

	Taiwan - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Speaking Taiwanese under the localization movement has become an emblem of expressing Taiwanese identity and the language has undergone a resurgence since the early 1990's.

		A majority of the Taiwanese population are religious believers, most of whom identify themselves as Buddhists or Taoists.

	Standard Mandarin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Yale Romanization system was created at Yale University during World War II specifically to facilitate communication between American military personnel and their Chinese counterparts.
		Curiously the use of standard Mandarin in the 20th century has supplanted the use of pidgin English which was used as a common language in some parts of southern China in the 18th and 19th century.
		However, currently in schools, Taiwanese is being taught as an individual class, with its own textbooks and course material.

	Pinyin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By letting Roman characters refer to specific Chinese sounds, pinyin produces a compact and accurate romanization, which is convenient for native Chinese speakers and scholars.
		Pinyin uses the Roman alphabet, hence the pronunciation is relatively straightforward for Westerners.
		As a result, the use of romanization on signage in Taiwan is inconsistent, with many places using Tongyong Pinyin but some using Hanyu Pinyin, and still others not yet having had the resources to replace older Wade-Giles or MPS2 signage.

	Taiwan
		The severe clash of cultures between mainland Chinese and native Taiwanese led to the bloody 228 incident in which R.O.C. troops sent by Chiang Kai-shek massacred 30,000 citizens and leaders of democracy and pro-independence groups.
		In 2002, Taiwan authorities announced adoption a form of pinyin, but this has not resolved the chaos as there is a large and mostly political controversy about which pinyin system to use, with different localities now using different systems.
		About half of the Taiwanese population can be considered religious believers, most of whom identify themselves as Buddhists or Taoists.

	Pháiⁿ-sè
		Taiwanese is perceived as being ‘local’ and ‘low-class’ whereas young people want to project a more sophisticated image, best conveyed by using Mandarin.
		But what is needed to enable the long-term survival of Taiwanese is a codification of the written form and the opportunity to be educated in Taiwanese (not just to have it as an hour-a-week class).
		Taiwanese is a language from the same family as Mandarin Chinese (which I already have a conversational ability in) and the difference between the two is said to be akin to that between two Romance languages, say French and Spanish.

		Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II (國語注音符號第二式), abbreviated MPS II, is a romanization system formerly used in the Republic of China (Taiwan).
		Despite its official status for over two decades until it was replaced by Tongyong Pinyin in 2000, MPS II existed only in some governmental publications (such as travel brochures and dictionaries).
		The Romanization of the consonants is identical to Gwoyeu Romatzyh's.

	Hakka (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Guangdong Provincial Education Department created an official romanisation of Meixian Hakka dialect in 1960, one of four languages receiving this status in Guangdong.
		Currently the single largest work in Hakka is the New Testament and Psalms (1993, 1138 pp., see [2]), although that is expected to be surpassed soon by the publication of the Old Testament.
		These works render Hakka in both romanization and Han characters (including ones unique to Hakka) and are based on the dialects of Taiwanese Hakka speakers.

		It is a love story, a snapshot of life in a traditional Taiwanese family in the 1970s and finally it is about the spirit of Zen.
		Winner of the 1980 United Daily Literature Competition, this novel about love, betrayal, family life, and the power of tradition in small-town Taiwan was an instant bestseller when first published in Taiwan and went through 60 printings in its Chinese language edition.
		At once a bittersweet romance and a vividly detailed portrait of life in a southern Taiwanese coastal town in the 1970s, this lyrical work affirms the values and traditions that have nurtured Taiwan through the centuries and will continue to in an increasingly industrialized society.

	Notes on Chinese names
		In the database I have adopted the standard combination simplified character and Hanyu pinyin romanisation because they correspond to modern thinking in Mainland China where the bulk of the Chinese population resides.
		The "reading" is the Japanese romanisation, corresponding to the "Sino-Japanese" in the example below demonstrating the numerous romanisations related to a single character.
		When the word is displayed in its original script as a name, the romanisation lose much of its status, it becomes an aid to the reading similar to the tiny hiragana characters on top of complex rare kanji characters in Japanese.

		A friend of mine who was using characters to trascribe Taiwanese speech for her dissertation, resorted to renting KTV videos to figure out which character to use.
		While that sounds reasonable, it is problematic: the Taiwanese word for cockroach (ka-choa̍h) is not a cognate of Mandarin zhanglang.
		A native Taiwanese speaker such as myself readily recognizes that 呼神/胡蠅/互蠅 are all (desperate) attempts to come up with Chinese characters for hô͘-sîn (or the common fly).

	Bibliographic Control of Chinese Material in the United Kingdom
		In addition, it is also the method of romanisation being used in China and is taught in schools there, as part of a long-standing Chinese attempt to simplify the notoriously difficult Chinese language.
		An analysis of the subject of romanisation for Chinese in libraries should come to a conclusion as to whether there should be romanisation at all, and whether this is the most appropriate way for bibliographic control of Chinese collections in libraries in the United Kingdom.
		The arguments in favour of romanisation in libraries, which should consider the position of the cataloguer and the library users at the same time, are very different to those arguments in favour for the use of romanisation per se.

		A mix of Taiwanese, Mandarin, Hakka and other varieties of Chinese are spoken on the island, as well as many aboriginal languages.

		Taiwanese society is rather polarized by allegiance between supporters of the two major political blocks informally known as "pan-blue coalition" and "pan-green coalition", although there are large numbers of people who are either centrist or who don't care.

	Goh Sui Noi, Row over Taiwan plan to romanise Chinese
		TAIPEI—A new political storm appears to be brewing here over the adoption of a romanisation system for the Chinese language, even as the one over the building of a nuclear-power plant has begun to abate.
		Some Taiwanese, including members of the opposition, have accused the new government of rejecting hanyu pinyin simply because it originates in China.
		For a start, the change would mean that road signs made according to the Chinese romanisation system adopted some years ago have to be replaced.
