Hat jemand einen Tipp, wie ich unter #Android die vier chinesischen Betonungszeichen in #Pinyin eintippen kann?
Also für ā, á, ǎ und à? Genauer gesagt, das erste und dritte davon.
Ich kann zwar mit dem Pinyin-Keyboard ganz einfach die chinesischen Schriftzeichen tippen, aber für die Phonetik wär das andere manchmal auch ganz hilfreich.

Idea for a mod: #GenshinImpact but all of the characters with Chinese names have them written with proper #Pinyin tones -
I didn't find any Chinese courses near me so I decided to try HSK books first to train my ears and learn the basics. 5 mistakes looks like a lot but it's quite difficult for my ears to hear the difference so I think it's a good progress.

In April 2024, @citizenlab found vulnerabilities in the security of cloud-based #pinyin #keyboard apps from Baidu, iFlytek, OPPO, Samsung, Tencent, Vivo, Honor, and Xiaomi that could expose keystrokes entered by a user. A network eavesdropper can completely reveal keystrokes, putting more than a billion users at risk. #DefCon32

So used to pinyin and 普通话 Chinese, I instinctively read this as "車門". 🧐

"Katze" auf Chinesisch heißt übrigens 猫 (māo).
:blobcatadorable:Ja, genau wie das Geräusch was sie macht. Und es ist einfach ultra cute. Als würde die offizielle Bezeichnung für das Tier hier "Miau" heißen. SO NIEDLICH.

what on earth is going on in this sentence? i might try to work this out for myself later, just thinking aloud for now…
"Hong Wei Xian, a/k/a "Harry Zan," 32, and Li Li, a/k/a "Lea Li," 33, both from the People's Republic of China (PRC)" from https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/2-chinese-nationals-charged-illegally-attempting-export-military-satellite-components
"a/k/a" is bizarre, but not very interesting, the names are more interesting.
I would guess that the first names listed are the standard transcriptions of their names in #Pinyin from Simplified Chinese?
But why is it different in their English names?
Harry and Lea make sense, the closest common English name … but Zan is weird?
#Taiwan uses a different system to Pinyin … but would the USA refer to them as being from the PRC? and if they were a Taiwanese spy working for the PRC to steel microchip making secrets, they'd be in Taiwan?
Maybe Hong Kong or Macau ?
Maybe judder easier to spell for Americans? but then a Pinyin X would be an S or Sh if you wrote it more phonetically?
Maybe a spy alias that's not even supposed to be the same name?

I have not thought too much about the citation as more to do with identification difficulty I usually have when reading multiple #Hanzi names, becus I didnot learn to use romanised #pinyin so I even struggle to pronounce them, but it become alot easier when I see the Hanzi charaters, but I do think for Hanzi names it may be desirable to cite at full instead of just surname, for example KFChen et al instead of Chen et al? -
@CaffeineSam
The #pinyin system includes a couple of arbitrary letter assignments (like the x and c), but it’s quite efficient and consistent. No need to resort to 3- or 4-letter combinations that still don’t capture the right phoneme. And where letters don’t match their English use, they often do match another language’s, e.g. the z is a German z (dz). If you’re drawing up a new phonetic system, English spelling (notoriously varied inconsistent) is a terrible place to start. -

So… I watched @thelinuxEXP tier list ranking video, and concluded that Fedora + KDE Plasma would be my best choice. Anyone knows how to properly get pinyin (Chinese) input on Fedora KDE ? I managed to get iBus input method but when I press Super+Space the input method doesn’t toggle between Inteligent Pinyin and the regular English input… incredible that such a feature is not working out of the box in one click… it’s Chinese, not some obscure language.

@Thomashegna The characters are definitely 龙头 (lóng tóu). I'm absolutely not fluent in #Mandarin or #Pinyin aka #SimplifiedChinese but maybe through the magic of hashtags we can find someone who is.... (I just know too many words for "dragon", lol).

Today, I learned about a really interesting #GoogleSheets addon for #Mandarin and #Cantonese. It is called Mandarin Cantonese Tools, and it will convert #ChineseCharacters into either #Pinyin or #Jyutping. This could be incredibly useful for learners of Canto or Mandarin #langtwt

Why is #Pinyin so weird? Why did they pick letters that most European-language-speakers would not pronounce at all like their intended sound? Like, "zh" for ⟨ʈ͡ʂ⟩ or "q" for ⟨t͡ɕ⟩, c'mon, why those Roman letters?
I get you don't have the sounds in English or other European languages but why not just approximate with "ts" or "ch" or something?
