 * Although it wouldn't surprise me if it existed as a generalization of the usual sense, I can't find any evidence that it does. I searched for phrases like "Russian pinyin", "Cyrillic pinyin", "Japanese pinyin", "a pinyin", "pinyin for". - -sche (discuss) 00:56, 7 March 2018 (UTC)


 * The only non-Chinese language I've seen it applied to is Tibetan, but perhaps we'd be better off with an entry for Tibetan Pinyin. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:06, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * If there are no other languages that use pinyins (besides Chinese and Tibetan), I would just broaden the definition of Pinyin from "for Standard Mandarin" to "for Standard Mandarin, and sometimes Tibetan". But are the transliterations of any of the minority languages spoken in China ever called "pinyin(s)"? - -sche (discuss) 22:12, 13 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Pinyin is just a Chinese word for "romanisation system". You can also speak of Yi pinyin, Nuosu pinyin, etc. Wyang (talk) 01:28, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Why, so you can! Thanks for the tip about those collocations. I've found some citations and put them at Citations:Pinyin and Citations:pinyin. I'll edit the definition to indicate that this is used with regard to China-based languages. - -sche (discuss) 02:17, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
