Sichuanese Pinyin

This article possibly contains original research. No sources use the term "Sichuanese Pinyin" (in English or Chinese), there's no evidence of any use outside of a handful of dictionaries, and the systems used by those dictionaries differ anyway, so it's not clear that the concept of "Sichuanese Pinyin" actually exists outside of Wikipedia (and the sites which have used it as a source). Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. (May 2024) (Learn how and when to remove this message)

Sichuanese Pinyin (Si⁴cuan¹hua⁴ Pin¹yin¹; simplified Chinese: 四川话拼音; traditional Chinese: 四川話拼音; pinyin: Sìchuānhuà pīnyīn), is a romanization system specifically designed for the Chengdu dialect of Sichuanese. It is mostly used in selected Sichuanese dictionaries, such as the Sichuan Dialect Dictionary,^[1] Sichuan Dialect's Vocabulary Explanation,^[2] and the Chengdu Dialect Dictionary.^[3] Sichuanese Pinyin is based on Hanyu Pinyin, the only Chinese romanization system officially instructed within the People's Republic of China, for convenience amongst users. However, Hanyu Pinyin is unable to match the phonology of Sichuanese with complete precision, especially in the case for the Minjiang dialect, as there are many differences between Sichuanese and Standard Chinese in phonology.
