    Origin of Zhuyin Symbols

    Uploaded by

    Hoàng Hải
    The zhuyin symbols used in the Zhuyin phonetic system originated from ancient Chinese characters. Each symbol represents a consonant or vowel in Mandarin Chinese and was derived from the graphic form of an early Chinese character that was used for its sound value. The document traces the origin of each zhuyin symbol by providing the early Chinese character it was derived from as well as contextual information about the character's meaning and form from Chinese lexicons. It also compares the zhuyin symbols to their representations in other Chinese romanization systems like pinyin, Tongyong Pinyin and Wade-Giles.
