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 the use of the Cyrillic alphabet to transcribe Chinese, see:
For the use of the Arabic alphabet to transcribe Chinese, see:
For another phonetic script in widespread use in Taiwan, though not an alphabet, see:
- Zhuyin fuhao (a.k.a. bopomofo or Zhuyin)
The Chinese 'alphabet' has more than 2000 characters in it this shows that the chinese people have so many differences in the language.
