Tibetan pinyin




The SASM/GNC/SRC romanization of Tibetan, commonly known as Tibetan pinyin, is the official transcription system for the Tibetan language in the People's Republic of China for personal names and place names.[citation needed] It is based on the Lhasa dialect of Standard Tibetan and reflects the pronunciation[citation needed] except that it does not mark tone. It is used within China as an alternative to the Wylie transliteration for writing Tibetan in the Latin script[citation needed] within academic circles; Wylie transliteration (with a v replacing the apostrophe) is more commonly used.

Vowels and final consonant


The 17 vowels of the Lhasa dialect are represented in as follows:

i i ĩ in
e ê en
ɛ ai/ä ɛ̃ ain/än
a a ã an
u u ũ un
o o õ on
ɔ o
y ü ün
ø oi/ö ø̃ oin/ön

Ending a syllable, -r is usually not pronounced, but it lengthens the preceding vowel. In the same place, -n usually nasalises the preceding vowel. Consonants at the end of a syllable are transcribed as follows:

ʔ g/—

ŋ ng


Single syllable orthography


The tone of a syllable depends mostly on its initial consonant. In this table, each initial is given in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) with the vowel a and a tone mark to present tone register (high/low).



Onsets


Below is a comprehensive transcription table of onsets of an initial syllable of a word. If the syllable to transcribe is not the first syllable of a word, see #Onset variation.
