2. The tone of each character can be indicated by the Yunmu(vowel) in the Pinyin.

 

3. The Yunmu(vowel) " šč" , "ie", " šče" and " ščn" should be changed into "u" , "e"," ue" and "un" each if they are after Shengmu(consonant) "Y" but the pronunciations are not changed.

 

4. The Yunmu(vowel) " šč, šče,ščn" should be changed into "u, ue, un" each if they are after Shengmu(consonant) "j, q, x" but the pronunciations are not changed.
