====Tone Sandhi====
* Mandarin Chinese features several {{w|tone sandhi}} rules. However, according to the [http://www.moe.gov.cn/ewebeditor/uploadfile/2012/08/21/20120821100233165.pdf ''Basic Rules of the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet Orthography'' (GB/T 16159-2012)], the original tones should be used. The tone sandhi rules below are only provided for reference.
** When there are two 3rd tones in a row, the first one becomes 2nd tone.
*** Example: {{zh|你好|rm=nǐ hǎo}} (but pronounced: ''ní hǎo'')
** {{zh|不|rm=bù}} is 4th tone except when followed by another 4th tone, when it becomes 2nd tone.
*** Example: {{zh|不是}} ''bùshì'' (but pronounced: ''búshì'')
** {{zh|一|rm=yī}} is 1st tone when it represents the ordinal "first". It changes when it represents the cardinal number "1", following a pattern of 2nd tone when followed by a 4th tone, and 4th tone when followed by any other tone.
*** Example of ordinal first tone: {{zh|第一个|rm=dìyīgè}}
*** Examples of changing to the second tone before a fourth tone: {{zh|一次|rm=yī cì}} (but pronounced ''yí cì''), {{zh|一半|rm=yībàn}} (but pronounced ''yíbàn''), {{zh|一会儿|rm=yīhuìr}} (but pronounced ''yíhuìr'')
*** Examples of changing to the fourth tone before another tone: {{zh|一般|rm=yībān}} (but pronounced ''yìbān''), {{zh|一毛|rm=yī máo}} (but pronounced ''yì máo'')
