Abstract

Chinese names in the original script present relatively few problems for those familiar with the written language. When those names are transliterated according to established standards, some intelligibility may be lost, but they are still recognizable in most cases. However, names transliterated from non-standard Chinese according to free-form transliteration schemes can be very difficult to identify for the purposes of bibliographic control. This essay discusses the nature of non-standard Chinese names in English, and offers suggestions for establishing such entities in library catalogs.
