Trilingual signs, in Chinese (logosyllabic script), Yi (syllabic script), and Hani (alphabetic Hanyu Pinyin romanization) on the Lihaozhai Township government office. Jianshui County, Yunnan. The Yi and Hani texts apparently have a syllable-to-syllable correspondence to the Chinese text. The standard Sichuan Yi Pinyin transcription is not used here because these signs are displayed in a province where the Nuosu (Northern Yi) language is not natively spoken. The displayed transcription with the modern Yi syllabic script (which is a huge simplification of the Classical Yi logosyllabic script which was used before the 1980s but with many non standardized variants) is less precise than the modern Hani Pinyin romanization.
