初，寧河王照造官話字母，乃宣增其母韻聲號為合聲簡字譜，俾江、浙語音相近處皆可通。 Earlier Wang Zhao of Ninghe had devised Mandarin phonetic letters; Naixuan expanded them into a Combined-Sound Simplified Character Manual with fuller initials, finals, and tone marks, so that regions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang with similar speech could all use it.
