	Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To distinguish Zhuyin from the Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II ("Mandarin Zhuyin Symbols II"), the first Zhuyin is officially called "Mandarin Phonetic Symbols I" (國語注音符號第一式).
		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).
		And the four diacritics representing the tones are identical to Zhuyin's.

		The argument for zhuyin is that it gives more "exact" pronunciation, which is untrue.
		The debate on zhuyin or pinyin is mostly political.
		This is a clear demonstration that politicizing of zhuyin is really a deterent for learning the language.

	The Multilingual and Multi-Orthographic Taiwan-Based Internet: Creative Uses of Writing Systems on College-Affiliated ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Zhuyin, or Mandarin Phonetic Symbols, is an alphabetic writing system used exclusively in Taiwan to aid in the acquisition of Chinese characters during elementary education.
		Among the three, the Zhuyin input method is probably the most accessible to the public, since the acquisition of the Zhuyin alphabet is fundamental in elementary education in Taiwan.
		The use of Zhuyin Wen also conveys a sense of cuteness or naïveté because it is reminiscent of compositions written by elementary school students, which mix Chinese characters and Zhuyin symbols.

		The zhuyin consists of a few dozens of letters that are modified from the Chinese characters, such as ㄅ, ㄆ, ㄇ, and ㄈ.
		As a matter of fact, zhuyin's tone marks are predecessors of those in pinyin.
		The reason for the success of zhuyin is precisely that the spelling and non-spelling elements are represented by different sets of symbols, which facilitates smooth spelling process, hence is preferred by native speakers of Chinese.

		Zhuyin Fuhao (known as "bopomofo" or "BPMF") is one of them.
		One argument in favor of teaching Zhuyin Fuhao at elementary level is that pupils who are starting elementary schools are just learning the pronunciation of English letters.
		Zhuyin Fuhao used to be the only system taught, but now more and more teachers prefer to teach pinyin.

	Cantonese Keyboard? - Asia Finest Discussion Forum
		I don't know what MPS is but Zhuyin Fuhao is a phonetic spelling system developed around 1910's in China and was used to teach children to pronounce Hanzi in Mandarin.
		Since the CCP took over in 1949, Zhuyin Fuhao was replaced with Hanyu Pinyin in mainland China but still used in Taiwan today.
		Zhuyin Fuhao was also created by taking "parts" of Hanzi, therefore it shouldn't be a surprise that some symbols look similiar to Katakana.

		Zhuyin is a system used only in Taiwan, it is also based on the pronunciation of Mandarin, and occasionally used to "phonetically" write sounds in the Taiwanese dialect (Hokkien) that have no real characters, similar to how katakana is used to write out sounds in Japanese.
		Zhuyin is a system created to emulate the Japanese hiragana/katakana system, I think.
		I've learned Zhuyin when I was a kid learning Mandarin, because my teachers were from Taiwan, but I've forgotten all of it now, as it is not used at all outside of Taiwan.

	Zhuyin Transcription (Bo-Po-Mo-Fo) - China Guide
		The tone pitches are either indicated by accents like in the pinyin transscription - but without the high tone mark - or by points in the corner of the vowel: left upper for the low rising pitch, right upper for the falling pitch, left lower for high and rising pitch.
		A hyperlinked table shows the Zhuyin alphabet and the characters the particular letters are deriving from, transscribed with the international transscription system.
		As the zhuyin system is only used by Chinese to have a reading help, there are no rules for word separation.

		Zhuyin, used in Taiwan, has symbols based on Chinese characters that represent syllabic sounds.

	Sinosplice: Life - Comments on Pinyin Reader
		Having learned both Pinyin and Zhuyin (bopomofo), I think zhuyin is highly preferable, and there are many books that have the characters with zhuyin next to them.
		Pronunciation is just much better with zhuyin and the much more readily available reading resources offset the time spent learning bopomofo.
		I also find zhuyin easier for me because I’m learning completely new phonetic symbols and attaching completely new sounds to them… instead of trying to attach new sounds to english letters I already mentally have sounds attached to.

		Both zhuyin and pinyin represent the exact pronunciation of the standard Chinese characters while Wade-Giles does not.

	Zhuyin (Bopoomofo) and Pinyin Conversion Table
		Although the symbols it uses were derived from Chinese characters, they are not Chinese characters themselves.
		The ordering of the zhuyin alphabet helps demonstrate the limited number of sounds that exist (excluding the tones, of course).
		A Mandarin syllable can be composed of up to three parts: an initial, a medial, and a final, where one or more parts may be omitted.
