RCL The romanisation of the Chineselanguage in Singapore is not dictated by a single policy, nor is its policy implementation consistent, as the local Chinese in Singapore Chinese community is composed of a myriad of dialect groups. Although Hanyu Pinyin is adopted as the preferred romanisation system for Mandarin Chinese Mandarin , the general lack of a romanisation standard for other Chinese spoken languages Chinese spoken variants and their list of Chinese dialects dialects results in some level of inconsistency. This may be illustrated by the many variants for the same Chinese characters often found in surnames such as Low, Loh, Lo Tay, Teh Teo, Teoh Yong, Yeong. The surname alone has several variations including Teh, Tay, Tee, Chang, Chung, Cheng, Zeng, Zheng. The variations Teh or Tee normally have roots in Malaysia, Tay or Tee coming from Singapore, Chang, Chung or Cheng from Hong Kong, and Zeng or Zheng normally from China.

orphan date May 2010 Cleanup date May 2010 Common Chineselanguage errors by non native learners of Chinese sometimes called Westernised Chinese zh t s , usually refers to a pattern of written or spoken Chineselanguage , characterised by the significant influence from European languages, with regards to grammar, vocabulary, syntax and word order. Influences from English are particularly noticeable, especially in translations of literary works and documents in English. Westernised Chinese lacks the characteristics of traditional Chinese writing, and sometimes poses reading or understanding difficulties to readers because of its awkwardness and or wordiness. Examples Abstract nouns as subject. e.g. The decline in his income has led to changes in his lifestyle. u he NOM income NOM decline u change PERF he NOM life style. Better translation lit. he because of income declines, CONJ change life style. Overuse of abstract verbs. e.g. Audience responded very enthusiastically to the visiting professor. audience to visiting professor u make u PERF very enthusiastic response. Better translation lit. audience to visiting professor respond very enthusiastically. still Western influences, specifically from the ridiculous on a scale of 1 to 10 scheme. Overuse of a an . e.g. He is a good man. he is one Chinese classifier CL good person. Better translation lit. he is good person. Overuse of the subordinating particle NOM .
