Beberapa perbedaan antara penulisan pinyin dengan pengejaan dalam bahasa Indonesia:
*-ou seringkali dibaca -o
*-ui dibaca -ué
*-un dibaca -uên, tetapi -ün ''tidak'' dibaca -üên, melainkan tetap -ün
*-ian dibaca -ién, kecuali jika dipisah tanda petik tunggal, mis: {{wikt|xian}} (/sién/) vs. [[Xi'an]] (/si an/)
Dua macam bunyi "i"
*Semua konsonan dapat diberi bunyi "i", kecuali "zh", "ch", "sh", "r", dan "z", "c", "s"
*"zh", "ch", "sh", "r", dan "z", "c", "s" ditulis dengan huruf "i": "zhi", "chi", "shi", "ri", dan "zi", "ci", "si", tetapi dibaca dengan suara "[[pepet|e]]" "/che/", "/jhe/", "/she/", "/re/", dan "/ce/", "/je/", "/se/"
*Bunyi "/ci/", "/ji/", "/si/" ditulis dengan "ji", "qi", "xi"

==Initials and finals==
[[File:DifficultChineseSpeechSounds.svg|thumb|400px|"ci", "ji", "si", "che", "jhe", "she", "re", "ze", "je", "se".]]
Unlike European languages, clusters of letters – initials ({{lang-zh|s=声母|t=聲母|p=shēngmǔ}}) and finals ({{lang-zh|s=韵母|t=韻母|p=yùnmǔ}}) – and not consonant and vowel letters, form the fundamental elements in pinyin (and most other phonetic systems used to describe the Han language). Every Mandarin syllable can be spelled with exactly one initial followed by one final, except for the special syllable ''er'' or when a trailing ''-r'' is considered part of a syllable (see below). The latter case, though a common practice in some sub-dialects, is rarely used in official publications. One exception is the city [[Harbin]] ({{lang-zh|s=哈尔滨|t=哈爾濱|IPA=ha er pin}}), whose name comes from the [[Manchu language]].

Even though most initials contain a consonant, finals are not always simple vowels, especially in compound finals ({{lang-zh|s=复韵母|t=複韻母|p=fuyunmu}}), i.e., when a "medial" is placed in front of the final. For example, the medials {{IPA|[i]}} and {{IPA|[u]}} are pronounced with such tight openings at the beginning of a final that some native Chinese speakers (especially when singing) pronounce ''yī'' ({{lang-zh|s=衣|t=衣}}, clothes, officially pronounced {{IPA|/í/}}) as {{IPA|/jí/}} and ''wéi'' ({{lang-zh|s=围|t=圍}}, to enclose, officially pronounced {{IPA|/uěi/}}) as {{IPA|/wěi/}} or {{IPA|/wuěi/}}. Often these medials are treated as separate from the finals rather than as part of them; this convention is followed in the chart of finals below.

<sup>1</sup> "r" may phonetically be {{IPA|[ʐ]}} (a [[voiced retroflex fricative]]) or {{IPA|[ɻ]}} (a [[retroflex approximant]]). This pronunciation varies among different speakers, and is not two different phonemes.<br>
<sup>2</sup> the letters "w" and "y" are not included in the table of initials in the official pinyin system. They are an orthographic convention for the medials "i", "u" and "ü" when no initial is present. When "i", "u" or "ü" are finals and no initial is present, they are spelled "yi", "wu", and "yu", respectively.<br>
<sup>3</sup> "y" is pronounced {{IPA|[ɥ]}} (a [[labial-palatal approximant]]) before "u".

The conventional order (excluding ''w'' and ''y''), derived from the zhuyin system, is:

In each cell below, the first line indicates IPA, the second indicates pinyin for a standalone (no-initial) form, and the third indicates pinyin for a combination with an initial. Other than finals modified by an ''-r'', which are omitted, the following is an exhaustive table of all possible finals.<sup>1</sup><ref>You can hear recordings of the [http://howtolearnchineseonline.com/mandarin-chinese-finals-vowels-pinyin Finals here]</ref>

The only syllable-final consonants in Standard Chinese are ''-n'' and ''-ng'', and ''-r'', which is attached as a grammatical suffix. A Chinese syllable ending with any other consonant either is from a non-Mandarin language (a southern Chinese language such as Cantonese, or a minority language of China), or indicates the use of a non-pinyin Romanization system (where final consonants may be used to indicate tones).

<sup>1</sup> {{IPA|[ɑɻ]}} is written ''er''. For other finals formed by the suffix -r, pinyin does not use special orthography; one simply appends -r to the final that it is added to, without regard for any sound changes that may take place along the way. For information on sound changes related to final -r, please see [[Erhua#Rules]].<br />
<sup>2</sup> "ü" is written as "u" after j, q, x, or y.<br />
<sup>3</sup> "uo" is written as "o" after b, p, m, or f.<br />
<sup>4</sup> "weng" is pronounced {{IPA|[ʊŋ]}} (written as "ong") when it follows an initial.

Technically, ''i, u, ü'' without a following vowel are finals, not medials, and therefore take the tone marks, but they are more concisely displayed as above. In addition, ''ê'' {{IPA|[ɛ]}} (欸, 誒) and syllabic nasals ''m'' (呒, 呣), ''n'' (嗯, 唔), ''ng'' (嗯, 𠮾) are used as [[interjection]]s.
