Compare these transcriptions of Chinese 道: Wade – Giles tao or tao < sup > 4 </ sup > ( marking 4th tone ), Legge romanization tâo, Latinxua Sin Wenz dau, Yale Romanization dàu, Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II dau, Hanyu Pinyin dào, Tongyong Pinyin daˋo, Gwoyeu Romatzyh or National Romanization daw, Zhuyin fuhao ㄉㄠ, and Cyrillic Palliday system дао.

Some systems, like Wade – Giles tao 道 and t ' ao 桃, introduce a special symbol for aspiration ; others, like Pinyin dao 道 and tao 桃, use " d " and " t ".

The Wade – Giles rendition kung-ho, on the other hand, tends to be pronounced ( the OED gives " kung-hou " ).

More generations of English speakers have learned about China through Wade – Giles ( proposed in 1859, revised in 1892 ) than through Pinyin ( approved in 1958, adopted in 1979 ).

Second, libraries have independent concerns about revising legacy Wade – Giles catalogs to contemporary pinyin.

After the Library of Congress converted to pinyin in 1997, librarian Jiajian Hu ( 1999: 250 – 1 ) listed three reasons why they deemed Wade – Giles unsatisfactory and added four more.
