		<description>Wow, you are a really handy with those scripts. I shall call you The Javaman!

Keep the good work coming!

BTW, I've been taking advantage of your Pin-yin tone tool and hope it'll make it more comprehendable for my readers. Big thanks!</description>

		<description>It's at 

&lt;a href="http://toshuo.com/scripts/canto-tonetool.js" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://toshuo.com/scripts/canto-tonetool.js&lt;/a&gt;

I think I may end up re-writing the whole thing after I get home from work tonight, though.  The fact that the "h" can be separated from the vowel with the tonemark means that I'll have to completely change the &lt;i&gt;tones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;mvowel&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;ngvowel&lt;/i&gt; arrays.</description>

		<description>&#62;&#62;2)Can “ng” be an independent syllable with a tone mark?

Yes, it can. E.g. number 5 (五 is ng5)

&#62;&#62;3)What are the rules for adding the “h” for fifth, sixth, and seventh tones if the syllable is a dipthong?

As in my previous comment, "h" is inserted after the diphthong but before the final. m, n, ng, k, p, t.

i is part of the diphtong, not final (e.g. paai)

All possible syllables are in the attached spreadsheet on the Chinese forums.</description>

		<description>Thanks a lot for your effort!
So, jung3 leui5 cham4 ta1 chin1 baak3 dok6。

is converted to júng léhui cham tà chìn báak dòhk。

This is our pattern:
ma1 ma2 ma3 ma4 ma5 ma6 ma7
mà mā má ma máh màh mah

léhui is incorrect - should be léuih, but dòhk is good - H is inserted at the end of a final (could be one vowel or a diphtong) but before the final - -t, -p, -n, ng, etc.

Thanks for the effort, I'll try to check a bit more later. Could I have a look at the codes, please? (canto-tonetool.js)</description>
