	Tongyong Pinyin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tongyong Pinyin (Chinese: 通用拼音; pinyin: Tōngyòng pīnyīn; literally "Universal/General Usage Sound-combining") is the current official romanization of the Chinese language adopted by the national government (although not all local governments) of the Republic of China (Taiwan) since 2002.
		Tongyong Pinyin is the successor of MPS II.
		In part because of the lack of agreement of which pinyin to use, the goal of the Ministry of Education to replace Zhuyin with pinyin to teach pronunciation in elementary school remains stalled as of 2003.

		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.
		Pinyin vowels are pronounced similarly to vowels in Romance languages, and most consonants are similar to English.

		The Republic of China on Taiwan adopted Tongyong Pinyin, a modified version of Hanyu Pinyin, on the national level in October 2002.
		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.

		Tongyong can be used for all the languages and dialects of Taiwan: Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka, and the languages of the aborigine tribes.

		Using tongyong pinyin would be no more useful an expression of national identity than requiring people to wear their underwear on the outside of their clothing.

	Pinyin - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Pinyin (; ;), also known as scheme of the Chinese phonetic alphabet (; ;), while pin means "spell(ing)" and yin means "sound(s)"), is a system of romanization (phonemic notation and transcription to Roman script) for Standard Mandarin.
		For example, the sounds indicated in pinyin by b and p are distinguished from each other (by aspiration) in a manner different from that of both English (which has voicing and aspiration) and of French (which has voicing alone).

		Tongyong Pinyin was designed and first applied by the Taipei city government in April 1998, with its proponents claiming that the so-called "system" is compatible with the pronunciations of the native Minnan and Hakka dialects, as well as the various aboriginal tongues.
		On Sept. 25, 1998, Academia Sinica President Lee Yuan-tseh convened a meeting on the promotion of Tongyong Pinyin, while the Education Ministry also organized an inter-ministerial meeting on the subject with the participation of officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior, the Government Information Office and the Taipei city government.
		Supporters of Tongyong, on the other hand, claim that their system is unique because it "takes into consideration the phonetic characteristics of dialects spoken in Taiwan." Since the authorities concerned failed to reach a conclusion, the Cabinet in early 1999 instructed that the Education Ministry should convene a meeting to discuss this "national" issue.

	Pinyin Zhou - MS Windows XP Chinese Zhuyin Input Method Setup
		Zhuyin fuhao, or “bopomofo”, is the still the primary phonetic system for teaching Chinese on Taiwan and in many overseas Chinese communities, including a surprising number of elementary schools in the US such as the Cupertino Chinese Language Immersion Program.
		Proponents often argue that these phonetic symbols are the best way to teach Chinese to children, to avoid any confusion of the unique sounds of Chinese with the sounds of a second language that might result if both languages were taught using Roman letters.
		The authorities on Taiwan have been trying to phase out zhuyin in favor of various versions of romanized Chinese (such as Tongyong Pinyin), but apparently quite a number of teachers there remain committed to what they know, which is zhuyin.
