Re: PinYin Standard
Thanks for you input again :) If I can find all those Dialog pronouncation
and combination... I will try to put it into a single system ( if too
big may
be a database application ) to provide a Multi-Language Pronouncation
tool kit.
The hardest part I think it will be where to find that database/dictionary.
May be I can write a proposial to Chinese,HongKong, etc government to
fund us to build such Dictionary to standardize and allow foreigner to
learn to speak their language.

AFAIK there is no database which contains all chinese chars... they are too
many and mostly not used at all. big5 and gb2312 contain the most common
ones and for daily life it's sufficient. Cantonese should only be availible
on the HKSCS extensions in the Unihan database, although they also use big5
and nowadays gb chars but have different pronounciation for them.
you also should keep in mind that the tone (1-5 for mandarin) sometimes
varies on the same character in relation to the character in front and
behind of it.
and if you wnat to include minority dialects and laguages, too, what about
taiwanese, hakka, etc. ?
If you want to do that you really need a real dictionary.
Cheers
