بينيين أو النطق الصحيح: پن‌ين أو هان‌يو پن‌ين، هو نظام الرومنة الرسمي لكتابة الصينية بالحروف اللاتينية في البر الرئيسي للصين وإلى حد ما في تايوان. وكثيراً ما تُستخدم لتعليم الصينية (المندرينية) الفصحى، التي تُكتب عادةً باستخدام الحروف الصينية. يضم النظام أربع علامات تشكيل تـُميّز النغمات. ويُستخدم پن‌ين بدون علامات النغم لتهجي الأسماء الصينية والكلمات من لغات مكتوبة بـالأبجدية اللاتينية، وكذلك في بعض طرق الإدخال للحاسوب لإدخال الحروف الصينية.

تأسس نظام پن‌ين في 1958 من قِبل عدد من اللغويين، منهم ژو يوگوانگ، مبنية على صيغة أقدم من رَومنات الصينية. وقد نشرتها الحكومة الصينية في 1958 وعدّلتها عدة مرات. المنظمة الدولية للمعايير (ISO) اعتمدت پن‌ين كـمعيار دولي في 1982, وتلتها الأمم المتحدة في 1986. وقد اِعتُمِد النظام كمعيار رسمي في تايوان في 2009، حيث تُستخدم للرومنة فقط (جزئياً لجعل مناطق صديقة للإنگليزية بشكل أكبر) وليس لأغراض تعليمية أو للإدخال للحاسوب. وبالرغم من محاولة الحكومة الوطنية لتنفيذه، فإن "بعض المدن والشركات والمؤسسات، خصوصاً في جنوب تايوان، لم تقبل ذلك" ولذلك يبقي الپن‌ين واحداً من عدة نظم متنافسة ومستخدمة للرومنة هناك.

كلمة Hànyǔ (الصينية المبسطة: 汉语؛ الصينية التقليدية: 漢語�) تعني "اللغة المحكية لشعب الهان." Pīnyīn (拼音�) وتعني حرفياً "الأصوات المتهجاة".

 خلفية: رومنة الصينية قبل 1949

In 1605, the Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci published Xizi Qiji (西字奇蹟؛ Xīzì Qíjī؛ Hsi-tzu Ch'i-chi؛ 'Miracle of Western Letters'�) in Beijing. This was the first book to use the Roman alphabet to write the Chinese language. Twenty years later, another Jesuit in China, Nicolas Trigault, issued his Xī Rú Ěrmù Zī (《西儒耳目資》؛ Hsi Ju Erh-mu Tzu؛ 'Aid to the Eyes and Ears of Western Literati'�) at Hangzhou. Neither book had much immediate impact on the way in which Chinese thought about their writing system, and the romanizations they described were intended more for Westerners than for the Chinese.

One of the earliest Chinese thinkers to relate Western alphabets to Chinese was late Ming to early Qing dynasty scholar-official, Fang Yizhi (方以智؛ Fāng Yǐzhì؛ Fang I-chih�; 1611–1671).

The first late Qing reformer to propose that China adopt a system of spelling was Song Shu (1862–1910). A student of the great scholars Yu Yue and Zhang Taiyan, Song had been to Japan and observed the stunning effect of the kana syllabaries and Western learning there.قالب:Which? This galvanized him into activity on a number of fronts, one of the most important being reform of the script. While Song did not himself actually create a system for spelling Sinitic languages, his discussion proved fertile and led to a proliferation of schemes for phonetic scripts.

 ويد–جايلز

The Wade–Giles system was produced by Thomas Wade in 1859, and further improved by Herbert Giles in the Chinese–English Dictionary of 1892. It was popular and used in English-language publications outside China until 1979.

In the early 1930s, Communist Party of China leaders trained in Moscow introduced a phonetic alphabet using Roman letters which had been developed in the Soviet Oriental Institute of Leningrad and was originally intended to improve literacy in the Russian Far East. This Sin Wenz or "New Writing" was much more linguistically sophisticated than earlier alphabets, with the major exception that it did not indicate tones.

In 1943, the U.S. military engaged Yale University to develop a romanization of Mandarin Chinese for its pilots flying over China. The resulting system is very close to pinyin, but doesn't use English letters in unfamiliar ways; for example, pinyin x is written as sy. Medial semivowels are written with y and w (instead of pinyin i and u), and apical vowels (syllabic consonants) with r or z. Accent marks are used to indicate tone.

 البزوغ وتاريخ الهان‌يو پن‌ين

Pinyin was created by a group of Chinese linguists, including Zhou Youguang who was an economist, as part of a Chinese government project in the 1950s. Zhou, often called "the father of pinyin," worked as a banker in New York when he decided to return to China to help rebuild the country after the establishment of the People's Republic of China. Mao Zedong initially considered Latinizing written Chinese, but during his first official visit to the Soviet Union in 1949 Joseph Stalin convinced him to maintain the existing writing system. Zhou became an economics professor in Shanghai, and in 1955, when China's Ministry of Education created a Committee for the Reform of the Chinese Written Language, Premier Zhou Enlai assigned Zhou Youguang the task of developing a new romanization system, despite the fact that he was not a professional linguist.

Hanyu Pinyin was based on several existing systems, including: Gwoyeu Romatzyh of 1928, Latinxua Sin Wenz of 1931, and the diacritic markings from zhuyin (bopomofo). "I'm not the father of pinyin," Zhou said years later; "I'm the son of pinyin. It's [the result of] a long tradition from the later years of the Qing dynasty down to today. But we restudied the problem and revisited it and made it more perfect."

A draft was published on February 12, 1956. The first edition of Hanyu Pinyin was approved and adopted at the Fifth Session of the 1st National People's Congress on February 11, 1958. It was then introduced to primary schools as a way to teach Standard Chinese pronunciation and used to improve the literacy rate among adults.

During the height of the Cold War, the use of pinyin system over the Yale romanization outside of China was regarded as a political statement or identification with the communist Chinese regime. Beginning in the early 1980s, Western publications addressing Mainland China began using the Hanyu Pinyin romanization system instead of earlier romanization systems; this change followed the normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and the PRC in 1979. In 2001, the PRC Government issued the National Common Language Law, providing a legal basis for applying pinyin. The current specification of the orthographic rules is laid down in the National Standard GB/T 16159–2012.

 الأحرف الأولى والأخيرة

Unlike European languages, clusters of letters —initials (声母؛ 聲母؛ shēngmǔ�) and finals (韵母؛ 韻母؛ yùnmǔ�)— and not consonant and vowel letters, form the fundamental elements in pinyin (and most other phonetic systems used to describe the Han language). Every Mandarin syllable can be spelled with exactly one initial followed by one final, except for the special syllable er or when a trailing -r is considered part of a syllable (see below, and see erhua). The latter case, though a common practice in some sub-dialects, is rarely used in official publications.

Even though most initials contain a consonant, finals are not always simple vowels, especially in compound finals (复韵母؛ 複韻母؛ fùyùnmǔ�), i.e. when a "medial" is placed in front of the final. For example, the medials [i] and [u] are pronounced with such tight openings at the beginning of a final that some native Chinese speakers (especially when singing) pronounce yī (衣�, clothes, officially pronounced /í/) as /jí/ and wéi (围؛ 圍�, to enclose, officially pronounced /uěi/) as /wěi/ or /wuěi/. Often these medials are treated as separate from the finals rather than as part of them; this convention is followed in the chart of finals below.

¹ /ɻ/ may phonetically be /ʐ/ (a voiced retroflex fricative). This pronunciation varies among different speakers, and is not two different phonemes.
² the letters "w" and "y" are not included in the table of initials in the official pinyin system. They are an orthographic convention for the medials "i", "u" and "ü" when no initial is present. When "i", "u" or "ü" are finals and no initial is present, they are spelled "yi", "wu", and "yu", respectively.
³ "y" is pronounced as [ɥ] before "u".

Conventional order (excluding w and y), derived from the zhuyin system, is:

Other than finals modified by an -r, which are omitted, the following is an exhaustive table of all possible finals.¹

The only syllable-final consonants in Standard Chinese are -n and -ng, and -r, the last of which is attached as a grammatical suffix. A Chinese syllable ending with any other consonant either is from a non-Mandarin language (a southern Chinese language such as Cantonese, or a minority language of China; possibly reflecting final consonants in Old Chinese), or indicates the use of a non-pinyin romanization system (where final consonants may be used to indicate tones).

¹ For other finals formed by the suffix -r, pinyin does not use special orthography; one simply appends r to the final that it is added to, without regard for any sound changes that may take place along the way. For information on sound changes related to final r, please see Erhua#Rules in Standard Mandarin.
² ü is written as u after y, j, q, or x.
³ uo is written as o after b, p, m, f, or w.

Technically, i, u, ü without a following vowel are finals, not medials, and therefore take the tone marks, but they are more concisely displayed as above. In addition, ê [ɛ] (欸؛ 誒�) and syllabic nasals m (呒�, 呣�), n (嗯�, 唔�), ng (嗯�, 𠮾�) are used as interjections.

According to Scheme for the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet, ng can be abbreviated with a shorthand of ŋ. However, this shorthand is rarely used due to difficulty of entering them on computers.

 The ü sound

An umlaut is placed over the letter u when it occurs after the initials l and n when necessary in order to represent the sound [y]. This is necessary in order to distinguish the front high rounded vowel in lü (e.g. 驴؛ 驢؛ 'donkey'�) from the back high rounded vowel in lu (e.g. 炉؛ 爐؛ 'oven'�). Tonal markers are added on top of the umlaut, as in lǘ.

However, the ü is not used in the other contexts where it could represent a front high rounded vowel, namely after the letters j, q, x, and y. For example, the sound of the word 鱼/魚 (fish) is transcribed in pinyin simply as yú, not as yǘ. This practice is opposed to Wade–Giles, which always uses ü, and Tongyong Pinyin, which always uses yu. Whereas Wade–Giles needs the umlaut to distinguish between chü (pinyin ju) and chu (pinyin zhu), this ambiguity does not arise with pinyin, so the more convenient form ju is used instead of jü. Genuine ambiguities only happen with nu/nü and lu/lü, which are then distinguished by an umlaut.

Many fonts or output methods do not support an umlaut for ü or cannot place tone marks on top of ü. Likewise, using ü in input methods is difficult because it is not present as a simple key on many keyboard layouts. For these reasons v is sometimes used instead by convention. For example, it is common for cellphones to use v instead of ü. Additionally, some stores in China use v instead of ü in the transliteration of their names. The drawback is that there are no tone marks for the letter v.

This also presents a problem in transcribing names for use on passports, affecting people with names that consist of the sound lü or nü, particularly people with the surname 吕 (Lǚ), a fairly common surname, particularly compared to the surnames 陆 (Lù), 鲁 (Lǔ), 卢 (Lú) and 路 (Lù). Previously, the practice varied among different passport issuing offices, with some transcribing as "LV" and "NV" while others used "LU" and "NU". On 10 July 2012, the Ministry of Public Security standardized the practice to use "LYU" and "NYU" in passports.

Although nüe written as nue, and lüe written as lue are not ambiguous, nue or lue are not correct according to the rules; nüe and lüe should be used instead. However, some Chinese input methods (e.g. Microsoft Pinyin IME) support both nve/lve (typing v for ü) and nue/lue.

q	[tɕʰ]	punch yourself	Alveo-palatal. No equivalent in English. Like punch yourself, with the lips spread wide as when one says ee. Curl the tip of the tongue downwards to stick it at the back of the teeth and strongly aspirate.
x	[ɕ]	push yourself	Alveo-palatal. No equivalent in English. Like -sh y-, with the lips spread as when one says ee and with the tip of the tongue curled downwards and stuck to the back of the teeth.
zh	[ʈʂ]	nurture	Unaspirated ch. Similar to hatching but retroflex, or marching in American English. Voiced in a toneless syllable.
ch	[ʈʂʰ]	church	Similar to chin, but retroflex.
sh	[ʂ]	shirt	Similar to shoe but retroflex, or marsh in American English.
r	[ɻ~ʐ]	ray	No equivalent in English, but similar to a sound between r in reduce and s in measure but with the tongue curled upward against the top of the mouth (i.e. retroflex).
z	[ts]	pizza	unaspirated c, similar to something between suds but voiceless, unless in a toneless syllable.
c	[tsʰ]	hats	like the English ts in cats, but strongly aspirated, very similar to the Czech, Polish, Esperanto, and Slovak c.

w	[w]	way	as in water. Before an e or a it is sometimes pronounced like v as in violin.*
y	[j], [ɥ]	yes	as in yes. Before a u, pronounced with rounded lips, as if pronouncing German ü.*

* Note on y and w

Y and w are equivalent to the semivowel medials i, u, and ü (see below). They are spelled differently when there is no initial consonant in order to mark a new syllable: fanguan is fan-guan, while fangwan is fang-wan (and equivalent to *fang-uan). With this convention, an apostrophe only needs to be used to mark an initial a, e, or o: Xi'an (two syllables: [ɕi.an]) vs. xian (one syllable: [ɕi̯ɛn]). In addition, y and w are added to fully vocalic i, u, and ü when these occur without an initial consonant, so that they are written yi, wu, and yu. Some Mandarin speakers do pronounce a [j] or [w] sound at the beginning of such words—that is, yi [i] or [ji], wu [u] or [wu], yu [y] or [ɥy],—so this is an intuitive convention. See below for a few finals which are abbreviated after a consonant plus w/u or y/i medial: wen → C+un, wei → C+ui, weng → C+ong, and you → Q+iu.

** Note on the apostrophe

The apostrophe (') (隔音符号؛ 隔音符號؛ géyīn fúhào؛ 'syllable-dividing mark'�) is used before a syllable starting with a vowel (a, o, or e) in a multiple-syllable word, unless the syllable starts the word or immediately follows a hyphen or other dash. For example, 西安 is written as Xi'an or Xī'ān, and 天峨 is written as Tian'e or Tiān'é, but 第二 is written "dì-èr", without an apostrophe. This apostrophe is not used in the Taipei Metro names.

Apostrophes (as well as hyphens and tone marks) are omitted on Chinese passports.

 Pronunciation of finals

قالب:IPA vowels The following is a list of finals in Standard Chinese, excepting most of those ending with r.

To find a given final:

1. Remove the initial consonant. zh, ch, and sh count as initial consonants.
2. Change initial w to u and initial y to i. For weng, wen, wei, you, look under ong, un, ui, iu.
3. For u (including the ones starting with u) after j, q, x, or y, look under ü.

Relative pitch changes of the four tones

The pinyin system also uses diacritics to mark the four tones of Mandarin. The diacritic is placed over the letter that represents the syllable nucleus, unless that letter is missing (see below).

If the tone mark is written over an i, the tittle above the i is omitted, as in yī.

Many books printed in China use a mix of fonts, with vowels and tone marks rendered in a different font from the surrounding text, tending to give such pinyin texts a typographically ungainly appearance. This style, most likely rooted in early technical limitations, has led many to believe that pinyin's rules call for this practice, e.g. the use of a Latin alpha (ɑ) rather than the standard style (a) found in most fonts, or g often written with a single-storey ɡ. The rules of Hanyu Pinyin, however, specify no such practice.^(3.3.4.1:8)

1. The first tone (flat or high-level tone) is represented by a macron (ˉ) added to the pinyin vowel:

   ā ē ī ō ū ǖ Ā Ē Ī Ō Ū Ǖ

2. The second tone (rising or high-rising tone) is denoted by an acute accent (ˊ):

   á é í ó ú ǘ Á É Í Ó Ú Ǘ

3. The third tone (falling-rising or low tone) is marked by a caron/háček (ˇ). It is not the rounded breve (˘), though a breve is sometimes substituted due to ignorance or font limitations.

   ǎ ě ǐ ǒ ǔ ǚ Ǎ Ě Ǐ Ǒ Ǔ Ǚ

4. The fourth tone (falling or high-falling tone) is represented by a grave accent (ˋ):

   à è ì ò ù ǜ À È Ì Ò Ù Ǜ

5. The fifth tone (neutral tone) is represented by a normal vowel without any accent mark:

   a e i o u ü A E I O U Ü

In dictionaries, neutral tone may be indicated by a dot preceding the syllable; for example, ·ma. When a neutral tone syllable has an alternative pronunciation in another tone, a combination of tone marks may be used: zhī·dào (知道).

 Numerals in place of tone marks

Before the advent of computers, many typewriter fonts did not contain vowels with macron or caron diacritics. Tones were thus represented by placing a tone number at the end of individual syllables. For example, tóng is written tong². The number used for each tone is as the order listed above, except the neutral tone, which is either not numbered, or given the number 0 or 5, e.g. ma⁵ for 吗／嗎, an interrogative marker.

Tone	Tone Mark	Number added to end of syllable in place of tone mark	Example using tone mark	Example using number	IPA
First	macron ( ◌̄ )	1	mā	ma1	ma˥
Second	acute accent ( ◌́ )	2	má	ma2	ma˧˥
Third	caron ( ◌̌ )	3	mǎ	ma3	ma˨˩˦
Fourth	grave accent ( ◌̀ )	4	mà	ma4	ma˥˩
"Neutral"	No mark or middle dot before syllable ( ·◌ )	no number 5 0	ma ·ma	ma ma5 ma0	ma

 Rules for placing the tone mark

Briefly, the tone mark should always be placed by the order—a, o, e, i, u, ü, with the only exception being iu, where the tone mark is placed on the u instead. Pinyin tone marks appear primarily above the nucleus of the syllable, for example as in kuài, where k is the initial, u the medial, a the nucleus, and i the coda. The exception is syllabic nasals like /m/, where the nucleus of the syllable is a consonant, the diacritic will be carried by a written dummy vowel.

When the nucleus is /ə/ (written e or o), and there is both a medial and a coda, the nucleus may be dropped from writing. In this case, when the coda is a consonant n or ng, the only vowel left is the medial i, u, or ü, and so this takes the diacritic. However, when the coda is a vowel, it is the coda rather than the medial which takes the diacritic in the absence of a written nucleus. This occurs with syllables ending in -ui (from wei: wèi → -uì) and in -iu (from you: yòu → -iù). That is, in the absence of a written nucleus the finals have priority for receiving the tone marker, as long as they are vowels: if not, the medial takes the diacritic.

An algorithm to find the correct vowel letter (when there is more than one) is as follows:

1. If there is an a or an e, it will take the tone mark
2. If there is an ou, then the o takes the tone mark
3. Otherwise, the second vowel takes the tone mark

Worded differently,

1. If there is an a, e, or o, it will take the tone mark; in the case of ao, the mark goes on the a
2. Otherwise, the vowels are -iu or -ui, in which case the second vowel takes the tone mark

The above can be summarized as the following table. The vowel letter taking the tone mark is indicated by the fourth-tone mark.

Placement of the tone mark in Pinyin

	-a	-e	-i	-o	-u
a-			ài	ào
e-			èi
i-	ià, iào	iè		iò	iù
o-					òu
u-	uà, uài	uè	uì	uò
ü-	(üà)	üè

 Phonological intuition

The placement of the tone marker, when more than one of the written letters a, e, i, o, and u appears, can also be inferred from the nature of the vowel sound in the medial and final. The rule is that the tone marker goes on the spelled vowel that is not a (near-)semi-vowel. The exception is that, for triphthongs that are spelled with only two vowel letters, both of which are the semi-vowels, the tone marker goes on the second spelled vowel.

Specifically, if the spelling of a diphthong begins with i (as in ia) or u (as in ua), which serves as a near-semi-vowel, this letter does not take the tone marker. Likewise, if the spelling of a diphthong ends with o or u representing a near-semi-vowel (as in ao or ou), this letter does not receive a tone marker. In a triphthong spelled with three of a, e, i, o, and u (with i or u replaced by y or w at the start of a syllable), the first and third letters coincide with near-semi-vowels and hence do not receive the tone marker (as in iao or uai or iou). But if no letter is written to represent a triphthong's middle (non-semi-vowel) sound (as in ui or iu), then the tone marker goes on the final (second) vowel letter.

 Using tone colors

In addition to tone number and mark, tone color has been suggested as a visual aid for learning. Although there are no formal standards, there are a number of different color schemes in use, Dummitt's being one of the first.

Tone color schemes

Scheme	Tone 1	Tone 2	Tone 3	Tone 4	Neutral tone
Dummitt	red	orange	green	blue	none/black
MDBG	red	orange	green	blue	black
Unimelb	blue	green	purple	red	grey
Hanping	blue	green	orange	red	grey
Pleco	red	green	blue	purple	grey
Thomas	green	blue	red	black	grey

 Indication of tone change in pinyin spelling

Tone sandhi (tone change) is usually not reflected in pinyin spelling — the underlying tone (i.e. the original tone before the sandhi) is still written. However, ABC English–Chinese, Chinese–English Dictionary (2010) uses the following notation to indicate both the original tone and the tone after the sandhi:

1. 一 (yī) pronounced in second tone (yí) is written as yị̄.
   • e.g. 一共 (underlying yīgòng, realized as yígòng) is written as yị̄gòng
2. 一 (yī) pronounced in fourth tone (yì) is written as yī̠.
   • e.g. 一起 (underlying yīqǐ, realized as yìqǐ) is written as yī̠qǐ
3. 不 (bù) pronounced in second tone (bú) is written as bụ̀.
   • e.g. 不要 (underlying bùyào, realized as búyào) is written as bụ̀yào
4. When there are two consecutive third-tone syllables, the first syllable is pronounced in second tone. A dot is added below to the third tone pronounced in second tone (i.e. written as ạ̌/Ạ̌, ẹ̌/Ẹ̌, ị̌, ọ̌/Ọ̌, ụ̌, and ụ̈̌).
   • e.g. 了解 (underlying liǎojiě, realized as liáojiě) is written as liạ̌ojiě

Wenlin Software for learning Chinese also adopted this notation.
