Why is #Pinyin so weird? Why did they pick letters that most European-language-speakers would not pronounce at all like their intended sound? Like, "zh" for ⟨ʈ͡ʂ⟩ or "q" for ⟨t͡ɕ⟩, c'mon, why those Roman letters?
I get you don't have the sounds in English or other European languages but why not just approximate with "ts" or "ch" or something?
