Do you know that there are more than fifty thousand Chinese characters? And each character has its own meaning and pronunciation. These characters are then combined to form words, which makes Chinese language one of the most complex and beautiful languages in the world.
Bie Niu Pinyin is one of the many romanization systems used to represent Chinese characters using the Roman alphabet. It is different from the more widely known Pinyin system, and is named after its creator, Professor Bianca Nijhof.
Bie Niu Pinyin uses combinations of letters to represent the four tones used in Chinese language. For example, 'ma' in Bie Niu Pinyin can mean 'mother' or 'horse', depending on the tone used.
Learning Chinese language may seem daunting at first, but it is also a rewarding experience. With the help of romanization systems such as Bie Niu Pinyin, non-native speakers can still appreciate and understand the beauty of this unique language.
