Written Chinese is not an alphabetic script. Rather, it is a logographic script based on Chinese characters, though there also exist alphabetic systems to transcribe spoken Chinese.
Alphabetic Transcription of Chinese
For the use of the Latin alphabet to transcribe Chinese, see:
- Romanization of Chinese
- Hanyu Pinyin (a.k.a. Pinyin) - the modern international standard for transcription of Mandarin Chinese
- Wade-Giles
- Yale Romanization
For another phonetic alphabet in widespread use in Taiwan, see:
- Zhuyin fuhao (a.k.a. bopomofo or Zhuyin)
For other systems in use in Taiwan, see:
