Line 21:
The obvious advantage of pinyin-based input methods is the ease of learning; those who are familiar with pinyin would be able to input Chinese characters with almost no training, compared to other input methods.
For people who do not speak Mandarin, however, this advantage becomes its disadvantage. For some speakers of Mandarin who merge the sounds represented by ''c'' and ''ch'', ''s'' and ''sh'', ''z'' and ''zh'', ''n'' and ''ng'', ''h'' or ''hu'' and ''f'', or ''n'' and ''l'', pinyin-based input methods can be difficult to use. Although almost all pinyin-based input methods in use today have a customisable fuzzy input feature which could be toggled on, this allows users who would otherwise have difficulty distinguishing the sounds mentioned above to find the characters or words with ease.
