This research designed a questionnaire included 25 items, based on the differences between TTR(Taiwan Tongyong

Romanization) and HP(Hanyu Pinyin). We interviewed residents of Taipei and divided them into 4 groups: elementary

students, junior and senior high school students, and adults.  We send out 444 copies of this questionnaire to get 362

effectivesamples in return.  In compiling statistics, we found TTR excelled HP in 21 items of 25, the average gap went

to 128 people. HP excelled TTR in only 4 items of 25, and the average gap was 28 people. This outcome was steady

in 4 groups thus was thrust-worthy.

We also recorded 15 foreigners�� pronunciation of the 25 items with the two type and made 12 natives to judge which

 type sounded closer to original pronunciation of Chinese character. We found in the 25 items, TTR excelled HP by

16 items; the average gap was 35 people. And HP excelled TTR by 9 items, and the average gap was 14 people.

In sum, to natives, the 21 items TTR excelled HP that gap was very obvious. And the gap HP excelled TTR was unobvious.

To foreigners, though TTR excelled HP by 16 items, the gap was not obvious.

Now you need to know TWO THINGS:  Most of us have no special love for Communist China; we just

don't view Romanization as a poltical issue.  AND, second, most of us DISLIKE pinyin with it's very

poor use of Q's and X's.

 

So then, why do we still support Pinyin?  One basic reason: Consistency.  China (with is size and

clout) has Internationalized Pinyin, so that it is now used widely in the world press and in most

world universities.  As GOOD (or even bad) as Yale, Wade, Tongyong, or the Church system you

mentioned may be, we simply don't want ANOTHER system out there. As stupid as Chongqing or

 Xi-an may look, my humble opinion is that we just have to get used to it.
