Romanization of Nankinese

Nankinese Pinyin (lang2jin1hua4 Pin1in1; ), is a romanization system specifically designed for the Nanjing dialect of Jianghuai Mandarin. It is mostly used in Nanjing dialect dictionaries, such as the Dialect Dictionary, and input method. Nankinese Pinyin has features of both German alphabet​ and Hanyu Pinyin. The latter is the only Chinese romanization system formally taught within the People's Republic of China, for convenience amongst users. However, there is also the problem that it is unable to match the phonology of Nankinese with complete precision, as there are many differences between Nankinese and Standard Chinese in phonology.
