If you say Beijing rather than Peking—and most of the world does – then you can thank Zhou Youguang. The amateur linguist, who developed the “pin-yin” alphabetic writing system for Mandarin, has died, at the age of 111.

    0:24 Peking and Chongking aren't Wade-Giles, they're Postal romanization, which is older than Wade-Giles, from 17th-18th century Nanjing Mandarin. Wade-Giles would actually be Pei-ching and Chung-ch‘ing.
