To view the response to a question, click the [show] link to the right of the question. Romanization of Chinese word "Tao/Dao" Q: Why is this word romanized as "Tao" in this article when Wikipedia and the scholarly community both normally prefer the use of pinyin for Chinese loanwords, and "Dao" is a better phonetic transcription of the Chinese concept?
A: Because there is a very long tradition in English of writing the word as "Tao" (while still pronouncing it "dow"), and because the English Wikipedia prefers the longstanding historical form of this English word more than it prefers the use of pinyin Chinese for the Chinese word.
