Notes 1 The list of Pinyin words is arranged in Roman (English) alphabetical order for each letter, irrespective of groupings that respresent Chinese syllables or their order in Chinese Hanzi writing based on radical and character indices . However, where two words are the same in Pinyin, they have been listed in most cases in the order of their Chinese Hanzi characters. 2 Consonants are listed in English alphabetical order: b, c, d, etc. 3 Vowels are ordered in English alphabetical order, and these have been arranged further according to Mandarin Chinese tones: å, æ, ç, è, a, é, ê, ë, ì, e, í, î, ï, ð, i, ñ, ò, ó, ô, o, õ, ö, ø, ù, u, û, ü, ý, þ, ú 4 Preference varies as to whether certain Mandarin expressions have spaces between their elements. For example, dictionaries may show the Mandarin Pinyin word for security as ån quæn or as ånquæn . If you cannot find an expression listed with spaces, please look for it without spaces. Where “ng” is followed by a vowel, “n'g” or “ng' ” is shown to separate syllables, even when this is not common practice.
