The phonetic input method for entering Chinese characters
into computers is based on what is called Pinyin,
the romanization system for standard Mandarin. Pinyin was
approved in 1958 by the government of the People's Republic of China
and officially adopted by it in 1979. Since then, the International
Organization for Standardization adopted Pinyin as the
romanization system for standard Mandarin.
The pronunciation of Chinese characters is also marked with Pinyin.
