Well, at least close-er, yes the 'k' is older than Wade Giles, the changes in spelling are still just changes in romanizations systems.

- thaumasiotes 4y agoNo, that's not correct. The 'k' in Peking is there because Peking is not a transcription from Mandarin. The change was in what language to use for the name of the city, not in what romanization system to use.
- glxxyz 4y agoI didn't say the k was a romanization, I said it was older.
