Simplified Chinese: ÍþÍ×ÂêÆ´Òô or ΤÊÏÆ´Òô), sometimes abbreviated Wade, is a Romanization (phonetic notation and transliteration) system for the Chinese language based on the form of Mandarin used in Beijing. It developed from a system produced by Thomas Wade in the mid-19th century, and reached settled form with Herbert Giles's Chinese-English dictionary of 1912. It was the main system of transliteration in the English-speaking world for most of the 20th century, replacing the Nanjing-based romanization systems that had been common until late in the 19th century. It was mostly replaced by Pinyin system today but its use can still be seen in Taiwan.
