Hakka Transliteration Scheme

The Hakka Transliteration Scheme (Chinese: 客家話拼音方案), or PinFa refers to a romanisation scheme for Hakka published by the Guangdong Provincial Education Department in September 1960 as one of four systems collectively referred to as Guangdong Romanization. The scheme describes the Meixian dialect spoken in Meizhou, Guangdong which is considered to be the prestige dialect of Hakka, and was later adapted for Gan and Xiang. This system utilizes the Latin alphabet with superscript numbers to represent tone.
