A Dictionary of the PinYin Language
This is a proposal for development of the han4yu3pin1yin1 (Chinese language spelling sounds), or PinYin for short. In the Chinese character writing system (HanZi), homophonic words are represented by different HanZi. This phenomenon is taken into consideration in this design. The standard Chinese is different in various periods of history. Chinese language in the future will be different from what is currently spoken. Language change is also taken into consideration in this design. This dictionary is intended to prove that an alphabetic script facilitates language change towards more phonological distinction.
