I say if it ain't broke don't fix it, although I never understood why o was used for [ʊ] when u would do fine. When I see the sequences -ong and -ao, I want to pronounce them [ɔŋ]* and [ao]*.

The main flaw: Substituting <j, q, x> for <zy, cy, sy> doesn't make any sense, considering they're actually the allophones of /k, kʰ, χ/ before close front vowels (/i, y/).

The rest of changes are fine I think, or at least they seem clear to me as a student of Mandarin.... Substituting the Pinyin abbreviations <-un, -ui> to <-uen, -uei>, marking the rising of the /a/ before coda /n/ as <-ien>, marking the labialization in <bo> as <buo>, writing the /y/ as <yu> in all positions.

In the end it's not that different from Pinyin anyway, it only has five modifications...
I agree wholeheartedly. I think the latter was done having French and English speakers in mind though, who in some positions would read the <au> as their /o/ and /ɔ:/ respectively.

I thought they were allophones of the retroflexes actually.
Can you give me an example of a Chinese word where <un> is short for <uen>?
The reason for this is because it's considered an allophone of /a/.
I thought this was pronounced [po].
Since any transcription is ideally 1:1, I would prefer <ü>. But there might be problems entering it into computers.
Good point. But they would do the same for <ai>, right?

Nb: French <au> can be /o/ or /ɔ/.

No, they come from the velars. Doesn't it seems curious to you how Canada is pronounced 加拿大 jiānádà?

Another good proof is the surname 金 jīn "Jin", which equivalent in Korean is 김 gim /kim/ "Kim", and in Cantonese, gām /kɐm˥/ "Kam". So /kin˥/->[tɕin˥].
-un stands for [Cʷən]. So 婚 would be [χʷən˥].
Yeah, but so <j, q, x> are allophones too...
Not in Beijing: [pʷɔ].
<ǖ, ǘ, ǚ, ǜ>.

Oh, I know that's where they derive from, but I thought phonologically they were allophones of /tʂ tʂʰ ʂ/.
Hmm, I thought it would be [xun˥]. In zhuyin, this would be written <ㄏㄨㄣ> so I guess you're correct. I don't deal with pinyin usually so I'm not familiar with finer details like that.
Maybe I just don't hear the labialization...
I know. I mean that for typing pinyin into an IME (where tones are disregarded) <ü> isn't always available. A workaround is to substitute <v>.

Neqitan, how do you pronounce "Tientsin"?

The palatal series comes from both the velars and the alveolar affricates. That's why their proper phonemicisation is one of the classic dilemmas of Mandarin phonology.

Talib, I don't recall seeing an analysis that analyses them as allophones of the retroflex series. The main reason is that this allows one to phonemicise [tʂʰʐ̩], [tʂʐ̩], [ʂʐ̩], [ʐ̩] as /tʂʰi/, /tʂi/, etc. parallel to /tɕʰi/, /tɕi/, etc. Much easier to treat [ʐ̩] as an allophone of [i][*] then try to explain why some affricates can form syllables of their own but not others (not to mention the fact that this recapitulates the historical development; Beijing opera pronunciation still allows [tʂʰi], etc.).

[*] Pulleyblank actually goes further and demonstrates how [i] itself can be regarded as an allophone of [j], but that's another kettle of congee.

Then zy, cy and sy are alright!

Aren't they written the same in Wade-Giles and Yale?
That and you can merge them with the syllable fricatives of [tsz̩ tsʰz̩ sz̩] as an [ɨ] allophone of /i/.
I've seen all the high vowels treated as allophones of the approximants /j ɥ w/ but I thought it was the other way around, ie. non-syllabic /i y u/ form rising diphthongs with other syllable rimes.

I am mainly creating this Mandarin Pinyin II for the Taiwanese and the overseas Mandarin speakers in order that their transliterated Mandarin names would look more presentable in English than the Pinyin I versions.

The Taiwanese have, for all practical purposes, adopted Pinyin I for official transliteration of national place names. But in personal name transliteration, Pinyin I is meeting as much resistance in Taiwan as in Singapore, if not more.

The Chinese Singaporeans, being a people that adopted Mainland Chinese simplified characters and Pinyin I wholesale out of pragmatism and a sense of solidarity with a common "Hua" heritage, to this date largely keep their names transliterated from the Minnan or Cantonese original in English contexts. Of the few Singaporeans who prefer a Mandarin version of transliteration in English, prefer to use Wade-Giles. Papa Lee Kwan Yew seems to keep his quasi Hakka and non-systematic anglicized version name in English contexts. But son Lee Hsien-Loong uses a modified Wade-Giles version of his Mandarin name. It should be Li Hsien-Lung in proper Wade Giles.

The Taiwanese either transliterate their Minnan original or keep the Wade-Giles when transliterating their Mandarin names. This means few Taiwanese gave a sh*t about the Tongyong Pinyin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongyong system that was promoted during the Chen Shui-Bian era (very interestingly, the Minnanist president Chen Shui-Bian uses a systematic Mainland Pinyin transliteration of his MANDARIN name!), nor do they likely care about the newly adopted Mainland Pinyin under President Ma Ying-Jeou (whose anglicized name is neither Wade-Giles or Pinyin, but a self-customized one).

Tongyong Pinyin is cumbersome and unnecessary. What is "Jh" really for, and can it really be used in anglicized names at all?

I don't think the Taiwanese, Singaporeans or overseas Mandarin speakers will be big fans of Zh, X, Q, either.

I don't think they are fans of the rhyme "E" either. But Pinyin II hasn't changed that... yet.

Also, the Taiwanese, Singaporeans and overseas Mandarin speaks will most likely prefer the consonant of "C" (not including C in the consonants Cy and Ch) to be changed into Ts as well. Perhaps they might want to see Cy changed into Tsy as well.

Pinyin II just gives them a SYSTEMATIC idea. They can customize it themselves.
