Zhong Ying is primarily Mandarin Chinese with some Cantonese, English and Japanese influences. It is a language written in Chinese script (to be added soon), using standard Mandarin pronunciation. Technical terms and names, however, are written using Chinese Characters for phonetics (surrounded by << >>) or Japanese katakana (surrounded by < >). It, like Mandarin, is tonal. The tones are too complex for addition here. It is suggested that a good Mandarin Chinese website is found for this.
