![]() ![]() There is a lot of overlap and many characters are the same in both HANT and HANS as I mentioned, the writing of many characters was simplified so there are also many new characters in HANS that are derived from HANT. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. What that results in is an asymmetrical system with a many-to-one mapping between Traditional Chinese (HANT 1) and Simplified Chinese (HANS 1). It’s still a lot, but 8,105 is the Simplified maximum which is a heck of a lot fewer that Taiwan’s 96,000. The result is the current “Table of General Standard Chinese Characters” which has 8,105 characters of which 3,500 are “Tier 1” which are “frequently used characters”. Too many for some people-and so the People’s Republic of China went about reducing that list and simplifying how many of the characters are written. However, Unicode supports nearly 78,000 characters and Taiwan’s national standard for encoding characters supports more than 96,000. For a comparison between pinyin and Wade-Giles, see. There are several different ways that (wài lái cí) can be assimilated into the Chinese language, most often by transliteration (yn yì) and translation based on the appearance or function of the object. The Taiwanese Ministry of Education has a “Chart of Standard Forms of Common National Characters” that list 4,808 characters and it’s estimated that the average person knows and uses 3,000-4,000 on a regular basis. The pronunciation of Chinese words is shown in pinyin, the standard Mainland romanisation for Mandarin. The idea of taking a foreign word or concept and using it in the Chinese language is called (wài lái cí). ![]() ![]() Romanized in the text, footnotes, and bibliography according to the. There is no really authoritative count of Chinese characters, just lists created for different purposes. All Chinese words, phrases, proper names, and book titles should be. This is not at all what Chinese transliteration is like. The system rendered Mandarin Chinese into a Romanized alphabet. Herbert Allen Giles expanded the Beijing syllabary into a complete transliteration system in 1892. OK, that’s not entirely true-there are exceptions for sure and there are many competing LatinCyrillic transliteration systems designed for different purposes but that symmetry is often a goal. Over the years, many dozens of different Romanization systems have been devised to represent Chinese characters phonetically. It is a Romanized phonetic system full of tonal representations. You can see that for every Cyrillic letter, there’s a corresponding Latin letter and the transliteration is symmetrical in that you can go back and forth very easily. The Cyrillic and Latin titles of Philosopher’s Stone for instance: Хари Потер и камен мудрости IJMES TRANSLITERATION SYSTEM FOR ARABIC, PERSIAN, AND TURKISH Consonants A Arabic, P Persian, OT Ottoman Turkish, MT Modern Turkish A P OT MT A P OT MT A P OT MT z z z z k k or g k or ñ k or n b b b b or p zh j j or y or y p p p s s s s or or t t t t sh sh g g g th s. The simplest case of transliteration is when you have two alphabetic systems, Latin and Cyrillic for example, and there is more or less a one-to-one correspondence between the letters of those alphabets. ![]()
