[quote=ZOEY,269769]The Chinese Braille, based on pinyin, has helped blind people to learn Chinese language, knowledge and skills. The Chinese government also helped 12 minority groups including Zhuang, Buyi, and Hani to establish Latin forms of their languages, based on the pinyin system. The government used all kinds of measures to popularize pinyin for schools, newspapers, and brand names, and standardize the usage of pinyin on radios, TV and in advertisements. The five mascots for Beijing 2008 Olympics, which were initially called "Friendlies", have been renamed "Fuwa", a literal Chinese pinyin translation. Many Chinese take the new name as more acceptable and easy to understand. China also published the Xinhua Dictionary and Modern Chinese Dictionary, setting rules for using pinyin to spell people's names and places. In 2001, the government issued the National Common Language Law providing a legal basis for applying pinyin. [/quote]
