Is the Book & Video external link just advertising?

Help needed here! Could someone who knows how to do it (I obviously don't) please change the tone marker in the Article title's "shui" from the u to the i, as it should be - at least if you want to pass the test ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.237.181.211 (talk • contribs) 16 February 2006

Is there a style-guide somewhere that lists what vowel a tone marker is required to be on? Or is this simply a tradition, and different for each word? I notice in Wenlin the tone marker is placed as the parent comment states, but I can't find a rule to say why this is. tepid (talk) 21:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I know the general rule is to put the mark on the vowel sound that is pronounced longest. For shuĭ it would be on the 'ei' part, so here on the 'i'. In something like shuāi, the tone mark is on the 'a' because, again, of the combined vowel sounds, the 'ah' part is longest (I think) Shenme (talk) 06:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is HSK same/different as test mentioned in Standard Mandarin?

In the article Standard Mandarin section Role of standard Mandarin it mentions a test called "Mandarin Level Evaluation Exam (普通话水平测试)". Is that the internal version of HSK? How might the two tests be related to each other? As a reference point, it might be interesting to know if the internal one is more difficult than the HSK. Shenme (talk) 06:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
