I'd like to rebut the above quote -- The New Testament translation in the New World Translation has taken out the Greek words 'Theos' (God) and 'Kurios' (Lord) in over 60 places within the NT and replaced them with 'Jehovah'.
What is pinyin? Pinyin is the most widely-used system of writing Mandarin Chinese that uses the Latin alphabet. It is a great tool to help you learn the accurate pronunciation of Mandarin words. First, you need to learn how to read pinyin, as Mandarin contains some sounds which do not exist in English.
I see names like 'Qin', 'Xu', 'Zhu', and I am not sure how to say Chinese names like these. What you see is pinyin, literally 'spell out the sound'. It's a system for romanizing Chinese ideograms, used in mainland China for Mandarin, a.k.a. putonghua.Different systems are used in Hong Kong,Taiwan, and Singapore, where the following is not applicable.es, there are 4 or 5 tones depending on how you count them. The proper form for tones is as diacritics (-, /, v, \, .) above the first vowel (in most cases). Obviously it's not easy to type tones with an English keyboard! So sometimes tones are written as a number after pinyin, like xiao3 jin3 zhu1.
