Rules of Writing the transcription
Tone-marks should be placed on the main vowels. When the vowel i carries a tone-indicator, the dot on the i is removed. e.g. nǐ, bǐ
If there are two or more than two vowels in a syllable, the tone-mark is placed on the one which requires a bigger (the biggest) opening of the mouth. e.g. hǎo, mèi, lóu
