Bopomofo

Bopomofo is a phonetic alphabet used to write Chinese. It is also known as Zhuyin, and is used in Taiwan and Singapore. The Bopomofo alphabet was created in the early 20th century by a Chinese linguist named Zhang Binglin. It is based on the sound of Mandarin Chinese, and each of the 37 Bopomofo characters represents a different sound. Bopomofo is often used to write Chinese names, as it can help to indicate the correct pronunciation. It can also be used to write Chinese words in a more phonetic way, which can be helpful for learners of the language.
