Hey shehryar! I guess you are talking about the thesis Pinyin (Chinese: 拼音). If so, this is the is the special official system to transcribe Chinese characters in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Republic of China (Taiwan), Malaysia and Singapore to teach Mandarin Chinese. It is also often used to spell Chinese names in foreign publications and used as an input method to enter Chinese characters into computers.
