::Thanks for your reply. It appears what you are describing is the default fuzzy input setting of a particular pinyin input programme. However the quoted sentence is talking about Mandarin phonology without reference to any specific pinyin input programme, whether using default settings or not. The fact is that people do say ''funan'' (or ''fulan'') instead of ''hunan'' or ''erfu'' instead of ''[[erhu]]'', as well as ''f-'' instead of ''hu-'' (I was wrong about hu- not changing into f-). I have changed it to: "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."

I think when we talk about these, there should be a comparison between the pinyin method and other input methods, but not a comparison between mandarin speakers and non mandarin speakers. So a true disadvantage of pinyin method could be the input speed is not comparable with other methods such as [[wubi]] and so on.--[[User:Mukdener|Mukdener]]|[[User_talk:Mukdener|(Talk to me)]] 03:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
