Comparing Wade-Giles to Pīnyīn and Yale

On this page, the focus is on the Wade-Giles system.

Click a letter in the index just below to view the sounds it begins in the Wade-Giles system (alphabetized in the first column), along with the corresponding spellings in the Pīnyīn and Yale systems.

NOTE
Also available: Look up romanization by the Pīnyīn system and Yale system.
