Tones

The Sichuanese Pinyin system uses superscript numbers to mark the four tones of Chengdu dialect. The number is placed on the top right corner of every syllable, where "1" stands for the first tone, "2" stands for the second tone, and so forth.

Rules

The rules of Sichuanese Pinyin are based on those of Hanyu Pinyin, with some slight modifications:

• When the final -ong has a zero-initial, it is written ong (as opposed to Hanyu Pinyin weng).
• As in Hanyu Pinyin, ü is written u when paired with the series of
  alveolo-palatal
  initials (j-, q- and x-); however, the rule is not extended to the additional member ȵ- (e.g. 女 ȵü³).
