Commission on the Unification of Pronunciation

The Commission on the Unification of Pronunciation (Chinese: 讀音統一會; pinyin: Dúyīn Tǒngyī Huì) was the organization established by the Beiyang government in 1912 to select ancillary phonetic symbols for Mandarin (resulting in the creation of Zhuyin) and set the standard Guoyu pronunciation of basic Chinese characters.
