This converter is designed for Chinese to pinyin, we also have Chinese to Zhuyin and Chinese to Wade-Giles. Pinyin, or Hanyu Pinyin, is a system that spells Chinese names and words with the Latin alphabet based on their pronunciation. In Mandarin Chinese, it literally means 'spell sound'. It can be a really useful tool to help you learn the correct pronunciation of Mandarin words.
