What is Pinyin?
Pinyin — also called Hanyu Pinyin — is the standard romanization system for Mandarin Chinese. The term "Hanyu" means "Chinese language," and "Pinyin" means "spelled sounds." Pinyin is widely used both by learners of Chinese worldwide and by students in China as a phonetic aid for reading and writing.
