Pinyin chart — every syllable in Mandarin Chinese

Every syllable Mandarin uses — 401 of them — as a grid of initials and finals. Hover a column or row heading for how that sound is made. Below the chart, each syllable is backed by the HSK characters read that way: 3,362 characters across 399 syllables.

Which cells are filled and which are empty was checked against Unihan — 44,348 characters with Mandarin readings — rather than copied from another chart. A chart with wrong cells is worse than no chart: nobody can tell.

The chart

Columns are initials, rows are finals, each cell is a syllable. A filled cell means that combination does not occur in the language. A syllable shown as a link has characters listed for it further down the page.
No initial i, u or ü

Characters by syllable

A chart on its own is a dead reference: it says the syllable bāng exists and stops there. Here every syllable carries the characters from the HSK syllabus that are read that way, with tone marks and a short gloss — up to six per syllable, most frequent tones first.

Readings and glosses come from CC-CEDICT, used under CC BY-SA 4.0. A character with several readings appears under each of them — 都 is both dōu and dū, and that is the language, not a duplicate.

Syllables the chart leaves out

These 19 are real in some sense and disputed in another, so they sit outside the grid with the reason stated. A chart that stays silent about the disputed cases is not simpler — it just moves the problem to a reader who does not know there is one.

eng
a single character, 鞥, meaning a bridle strap
chua
a dozen rare characters, of which only 歘 is recognisable
den
扽, to jerk sharply; in dictionaries only since the 2000s
dia
嗲, affected or coquettish, from southern dialects
lo
咯, a colloquial sentence particle
yo
哟, an interjection of surprise
kei
剋, to tell off; colloquial
cei
to smash with a crack; Beijing colloquial. The character sits outside the main Unicode block and system fonts usually lack it, so it is described rather than shown
rua
挼, to crumple or knead
nun
a single character, 黁
din
a single rare character
fiao
覅, “no need”, from the Wu dialects
biang
the character from biángbiáng noodles; not part of the standard
bong
a single rare character
wong
a single rare character
m
呣, an interjection — a syllable with no vowel
n
㕶, an interjection — a syllable with no vowel
ng
嗯, an interjection — a syllable with no vowel
hm
噷, an interjection — a syllable with no vowel

Frequently asked

How many syllables does Mandarin have?
Around four hundred, ignoring tone — this chart has 401. With tones counted separately the figure is roughly four times that, but the chart shows the syllables themselves: tone is a property of the word, not of the slot in the table.
Why are some cells empty?
Because those combinations do not occur. Mandarin uses only a fraction of the 22 × 36 grid the initials and finals could produce, and a chart that quietly filled the gaps would be teaching syllables that do not exist.
Where do the empty and filled cells come from?
They were checked against Unihan — 44,348 characters with Mandarin readings — rather than copied from another chart. The check runs both ways: no cell exists unless real characters are read that way, and no syllable read by five or more characters may be missing.
Is there audio?
Not yet, and rather than fake it with speech synthesis — which silently has no Chinese voice on most Windows and Linux machines — the chart says so. The sound descriptions are approximations by design: English words cannot spell a Chinese syllable exactly.
