Tien Shan Pai (Mandarin) Chinese Terminology
The northern Chinese language is Mandarin.
The characters are Chinese Simplified.

The characters are Chinese Traditional.
The newest romanization (Latin spelling) is Jyutping from the 1990s,
which uses numbers after syllables for tones.
A common older romanization is Yale, which uses accents and apostrophes.
There are other older ones, like Cantonese pinyin from the 1950s, Sidney Lau, and Meyer-Wempe.
There are also informal romanizations using the pronunciations.
There are also other dialects with their own romanization,
such as Hokkien, Teochew, and Shanghainese.
