Table of Mandarin Words with Reviewed Variant Pronunciations

The Table of Mandarin Words with Reviewed Variant Pronunciations, or Putonghua Words with Reviewed Variant Pronunciations (simplified Chinese: 普通话异读词审音表; traditional Chinese: 普通話異讀詞審音表; pinyin: Pǔtōnghuà Yìdúcí Shěnyīnbiǎo), is a standard on Mandarin polyphonic monosemous words, i.e., words with different pronunciations for the same meanings. The standard was announced by the Chinese (PRC) government in 1985. ^[1]

The existence of polyphonic monosemous words is a burden to language learning and application, and need to be periodically reviewed and reduced by authoritative organizations. ^[2]
