Chinese names romanized into English


Recommended Posts

Posted

So, what happens with Cantonese last names once Mandarin becomes the prevalent language? My last name is Wong, so will it now be converted to Huang? Obviously, if one has already romanized his name, he will pass that name down through the generations, but I'm talking about the Mainland Cantonese, whose government names are in Mandarin.

Oh yes, they have Mandarin version of their names, at least officially.
