Barnett–Chao
The Barnett–Chao (abbreviated here as B–C) system of romanization for writing Cantonese is based on the principles of the Gwoyeu Romatzyh system (GR) for writing Mandarin Chinese in the Latin alphabet. The Barnett–Chao system has had a limited following and appears almost exclusively in Y.R. Chao's ''Cantonese Primer''. There are two reasons for its lack of widespread adoption despite the inherent benefits of tonal spelling. Firstly, requires a large number of roman letters to represent each toned syllable. Secondly, like GR, it uses a complex system for representing tone that makes the system difficult to learn and obscures the basic relationship between spelling and tone.
== Description ==
Like GR spelling, B–C spelling uses contrasting unvoiced/voiced pairs of consonants to represent aspirated and unaspirated sounds. B–C also uses single versus double vowels letters to represent certain short + high versus long + low final vowels even in open syllables where the contrast does not exist: ''buk'', ''buut'', ''baa'', and different letters to represent the contrast in other cases: ''sek'', ''sin''. Some vowels are only long and do not use doubling to represent length: ''ea, o, y''.
The Cantonese high and low pitch registers are indicated by inserting ''-h-'' or ''-r-'' between the initial and final: ''bhat'', ''brat''. Medium pitch register has no insert, and is considered the basic form: ''baa''.
