noun
Tongyong Pinyin
A romanization system for Mandarin Chinese, formerly official in Taiwan (2002–2008), largely replaced by Hanyu Pinyin.
from Chinese
台湾では2002年から2008年まで通用拼音が公式のローマ字表記として使われていた。
In Taiwan, Tongyong Pinyin was used as the official romanization system from 2002 to 2008.

From Chinese 通用拼音 (Tōngyòng Pīnyīn), literally 'general-use spelling'. The Japanese reading つうようピンイン is a direct adaptation of the Chinese term.
