The Fuzhou Transliteration Scheme (Chinese: 福州话拼音方案; pinyin: Fúzhōuhuà Pīnyīn Fāng'àn) refers to the romanization scheme published in 1994 for the Fuzhou Dialect Dictionary (Chinese: 福州方言词典; pinyin: Fúzhōu fāngyán cídiǎn), romanizing the Fuzhou dialect. It does not explicitly state the tones.

## Initials

[edit]

As the Fuzhou dialect has two initial consonants that arise only after initial assimilation of other initials in certain phonological environments, there are two extra letters outside the standard initial tables.

## Finals

[edit]

As the Fuzhou dialect exhibits the phenomenon of rime tensing with certain finals, the tense rime is presented first, with its lax equivalent after. Certain tense-lax distinctions present in the dialect are not transcribed in this transliteration scheme; others however are explicitly rendered.
