汉语拼音（Hànyǔ Pīnyīn），简称拼音，是一种以拉丁字母作普通话（现代标准汉语）标音的方案，为中文罗马拼音的国际标准规范。

Hànyǔ Pīnyīn, or Pinyin for short, is a plan for transcribing Mandarin (modern standard Chinese) with Latin letters, and is the international standard specification for Chinese Roman pinyin.

汉语拼音同时是将汉字转写为拉丁字母的规范方式。汉语拼音也是国际普遍承认的汉语普通话拉丁转写标准。

Chinese Pinyin is also a standardized way of translating Chinese characters into Latin letters. Chinese Pinyin is also an internationally recognized standard for Latin transcription of Mandarin Chinese.

声调不仅在现代汉语占有极重要的地位，就连在古音中也一样，古时汉语的声调有多少类，自来言人人殊，纷纭无定。中国传统音韵学上一向所谓的“四声”，都是声调分为把声调分为“平”、“上”、“去”、“入”四类，这情形至少在五世纪前就已经存在。

Tones play a very important role not only in modern Chinese, but also in ancient Chinese. There are many different kinds of tones in ancient Chinese. The so-called “four tones” in traditional Chinese phonology are divided into four types of tones: “ping”, “shang”, “go”, and “ent”. This situation has existed at least before the fifth century.

Hanyu Pinyin (simplified Chinese: 汉语拼音; traditional Chinese: 漢語拼音; pinyin: Hànyǔ Pīnyīn), often abbreviated to pinyin, is the official romanization system for Standard Chinese in mainland China and to some extent in Taiwan. It is often used to teach Standard Mandarin Chinese, which is normally written using Chinese characters. The system includes four diacritics denoting tones. Pinyin without tone marks is used to spell Chinese names and words in languages written with the Latin alphabet and also in certain computer input methods to enter Chinese characters.

汉语拼音在中国大陆作为基础教育内容全面使用，是义务教育的重要内容。在海外，特别是常用现代标准汉语的地区如新加坡、马来西亚、菲律宾和美国唐人街等，目前也在汉语教育中进行汉语拼音教学。台湾自2008年开始，中文译音使用原则也采用汉语拼音，但旧护照姓名和部分地名、道路名称仍采用威妥玛拼音、邮政式拼音、国语罗马字、国音二式抑或通用拼音。
