	Wade Giles
		Giles served as a British consular official in various parts of China from 1867-92.
		Giles, who succeeded Wade as professor of Chinese at Cambridge, revised the romanization system Wade had developed.
		The resulting effort became the de facto standard for the romanization of Mandarin Chinese for the majority of the twentieth century.

		It developed from a system produced by Thomas Wade in the mid-19th century, and reached settled form with Herbert Giles's Chinese-English dictionary of 1912.
		In addition to the apostrophes used for distinguishing the multiple sounds of a single Latin symbol, Wade-Giles uses hyphens to separate all syllables within a word, whereas Pinyin only uses apostrophes to separate ambiguous syllables.

		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.
		Originally in his dictionary, Giles used left apostrophes (‘) consistently.

	Laputan Logic
		Others, less charitable, actually have hinted that Wade and Giles were not unhappy about how convoluted their romanization was, for it meant that only professional Chinese scholars like themselves would ever pronounce the Chinese sounds correctly.
		Wade Giles used a "j" as their symbol for the "r" sound at the beginning of words like "rip." The Confucian term is pronounced "ren." Watch how the damage unfolds.
		The proof that Wade Giles has been a catastrophe is that many authors felt they had the right, even the duty, to make up a simpler system of their own.

		Instead of just using Roman characters that would approximate the sounds of the Chinese language as closely as possible, Wade and Giles came up with a system that only a Linguist could appreciate.

		The only person Giles could possibly be referring to would be Wade—the first professor of Chinese at Cambridge, and the original creator of the Romanization system that Giles later modified into its enduring form.
		Giles was also unpopular with the British traders because he opposed the overcrowding of emigrant Chinese on British ships.
		All my adult life, the names Wade and Giles, the first two professors of Chinese at Cambridge, have been linked inseparably in my head, as I am sure is true for countless other students of Chinese.
