Romanization of Nankinese

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki



Nankinese Pinyin (lang2jin1hua4 Pin1in1; simplified Chinese: 南京话拼音; traditional Chinese: 南京話拼音; pinyin: nánjīnghuà pīnyīn), is a romanization system specifically designed for the Nanjing dialect of Jianghuai Mandarin. It is mostly used in Nanjing dialect dictionaries, such as the Dialect Dictionary,[1] and input method.[2] Nankinese Pinyin has features of both German alphabet and Hanyu Pinyin. The latter is the only Chinese romanization system formally taught within the People's Republic of China, for convenience amongst users. However, there is also the problem that it is unable to match the phonology of Nankinese with complete precision, as there are many differences between Nankinese and Standard Chinese in phonology.

Scheme[edit]

Fricative f [f] s [s] sh [ʂ] x [ɕ] h [x]
Liquid l [l] r [ʐ]

Finals[edit]

On the left side of each IPA symbol in the table below are the letters which correspond to their respective sounds in Nankinese Pinyin, and a sample Chinese character with that syllable rime:

"*" means the 5th tone, entering tone

Tones[edit]

The Nankinese Pinyin system uses superscript numbers to mark the five tones. The number is placed on the top right corner of every syllable, where "¹" stands for the first tone, "²" stands for the second tone, and so forth.
