Have you seen this chart before?
This chart is published by the Ministry of Education, R.O.C. (Taiwan), it's a master combinations grid for Chinese sounds, it shows how consonants and vowels blend together.
Here is how to use it in 3 simple steps:
1. Find the Base Sound
- Top Row: Consonants (like ㄅ, ㄆ, ㄇ, ㄈ).
- Left Column: Vowels (like ㄚ, ㄛ, ㄜ, ㄝ).
- Follow them to where they meet in the middle to make a syllable.
2. Check the 4 Tones
Every block is split into 4 small squares, representing Chinese tones:
- Top-Left: 1st Tone (High, flat)—
- Bottom-Left: 2nd Tone (Rising)↗
- Top-Right: 3rd Tone (Dipping)↘＿
- Bottom-Right: 4th Tone (Falling)↘
3. See the Examples
- Each square gives you one common Chinese character as a real-life example of that sound and tone.
- The circle symbol (〇) means that specific sound and tone combination does not exist in Chinese.
You will find every single one of the roughly 400 basic syllables that exist in Mandarin Chinese.
