Spelling Rules

Hello! When you see the initial as “None” but the result starts with y, w or yu, this is not an error but the official spelling rules of pinyin.

Finals starting with i (like ia, ian) are written starting with y when standing alone (like ya, yan).
Finals starting with u (like ua, uan) are written starting with w when standing alone (like wa, wan).
Finals starting with ü (like üe, üan) are written starting with yu when standing alone, and the two dots on ü are omitted (like yue, yuan).

This wheel helps students understand both the “structure” and “writing” of syllables, deepening their learning.
