Note 1: The pronunciation of Chinese characters shall be based on the pronunciation of Mandarin. Note 2: The writing of Chinese characters shall be based on the general standard Chinese characters announced by the National Language and Script Working Committee. Note 3: The Chinese characters at the intersection of the vertical row of consonants and the horizontal row of vowels are the transliterated Chinese characters of the pronunciation of the consonants and vowels. When the vowels form a syllable by themselves, they are transliterated with the Chinese characters of the vowel zero row. Note 4: The consonant letters in () are the spellings before the Malaysian government announced the new spelling law on August 16, 1972. Note 5: "Hai" is used at the end of place names; "Dong", "Nan", "Xi" are used at the beginning of place names: "Ya", "Ma", "Na", "Li", "Li" and other names are used for female names: "Fu" is used for the first name of the translation. Note 6: This table includes some foreign syllables. Industry Standard Information Service Platform
5 Rules
5.1 Chinese character transliteration of place names
5.1.1 Proper names (including common names that have been transformed into proper names) are generally transliterated. 5.1.2h, p, b, t, d, k are generally not transliterated when they end in a closed syllable. When the proper name is monosyllabic, it is translated by adding the proper name to the common name according to the geographical characteristics. 5.1.3
MZ/T129—2019
When a settlement is composed of a compound word with the common name in front and the proper name in the back, regardless of whether it is spelled in a continuous or separate way, the common name is generally transliterated.
Except for the vowels and vowel groups listed in Table 1, when two or more vowels are in parallel, they are translated separately. 5.1.6ia is translated as the Chinese character in the i row plus "亚" when it is spelled with a consonant. If a and the following letters can form a syllable, i is included in the previous syllable, and a is spelled with the following letters.
Some common words in the place names of settlements are translated according to the fixed translation method (see Appendix A). 5.1.8
When two identical consonants appear in a place name, they are transliterated as one. When the consonant ng is combined with a vowel in a syllable other than the beginning of a word, ng is assigned to the preceding syllable, and the vowel after ng is translated separately. The modifiers in proper names (such as those indicating direction, size, newness and oldness, etc.) are translated in a free way (see Appendix B). 5.1.10
Free translation of place names named after numbers or dates. For the names of the same geographical entity that are different in Malaysia and my country, the standard place name in the latest official maps, place name directories, place name dictionaries, place name records and other documents published by my country shall prevail. 5.1.13
Examples of Chinese translation of place names and proper nouns are shown in Table 2. Table 2 Examples of Translation of Place Names and Proper Nouns
