Note: All the sounds here use {i} after the initial. In the first seven columns, the {i} is a palatalization glide, but in the right three columns the {i} is a full vowel, not a glide. For forms with the {i} glide, the palatals {j, q, x} appear and not the retroflexes {zh, ch, sh}.

Special Spelling Exceptions
{o} Omission

All the words ending in {iu} are actually pronounced as {iou}, except for {you}
{i} Omission The final {i} in {ji, qi, and xi} makes an additional {i} to mark palatalization redundant
