The Chinese writing system is a unique medium for discovering new differences for other writing systems besides the alphabetic system. The Chinese writing system has differed throughout time and goes against any normally phonological knowledge taught in the alphabetic system. Researchers find that Chinese is a [[morphosyllabic]] system, meaning that the character represents a tonal syllable.{{Cite journal |last=Ye |first=Yanyan |last2=McBride |first2=Catherine |date=2022-12-01 |title=A Dynamic Interactive Model of Chinese Spelling Development |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-022-09684-3 |journal=Educational Psychology Review |language=en |volume=34 |issue=4 |pages=2897–2917 |doi=10.1007/s10648-022-09684-3 |issn=1573-336X|url-access=subscription }} The example “桥” (qiao, bridge), is a process of spelling in Chinese, it pairs and connects sound information to an orthographic information and the phonological skills that play a role in pronouncing this word. {{Cite journal |last=Ye |first=Yanyan |last2=McBride |first2=Catherine |date=2022-12-01 |title=A Dynamic Interactive Model of Chinese Spelling Development |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-022-09684-3 |journal=Educational Psychology Review |language=en |volume=34 |issue=4 |pages=2897–2917 |doi=10.1007/s10648-022-09684-3 |issn=1573-336X|url-access=subscription }}

Phonetic Chinese characters include syllables, the characters correspond to the [[morpheme]] when it is suffixed to another morpheme. There is a vowel portion in phonetic Chinese, and it can be presented alone. There are different levels of tones towards different characters that represent different vowel-tone combinations in Chinese Characters.{{Cite book |last=Tseng |first=Chiu-yu |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/An_Acoustic_Phonetic_Study_on_Tones_in_M/lMEPAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=inauthor:%22Chiu-yu+Tseng%22&dq=inauthor:%22Chiu-yu+Tseng%22&printsec=frontcover |title=An Acoustic Phonetic Study on Tones in Mandarin Chinese |date=1990 |publisher=Chung yang yen chiu yüan li shih yü yen yen chiu so |language=en}} Additionally, phonetic compounds are composed into two major components. A semantic radical is the definition behind each character and phonetic radical is the information of how the characters are pronounced. Characters like   “氵” and “木” combined means “take a bath” which is pronounced “mu4” in Pinyin. With 氵means water as the semantic meaning while the 木 is the phonetic radical of the characters, these are called regular characters.{{Cite journal |last=Hsiao |first=Janet Hui-wen |last2=Shillcock |first2=Richard |date=2006-09-01 |title=Analysis of a Chinese Phonetic Compound Database: Implications for Orthographic Processing |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s10936-006-9022-y |journal=Journal of Psycholinguistic Research |language=en |volume=35 |issue=5 |pages=405–426 |doi=10.1007/s10936-006-9022-y |issn=1573-6555|url-access=subscription }} Chinese phonetics' history is known to be really general within China and outside of China.
