Shidinn, formerly Xīnyǔ, Xīdīngyǔ, and Xīdǐngyǔ, is a constructed language created by Chinese folk linguist Huáng Quèfēi (黄 Quebecfei). Known for its unique one-to-one correspondence between Chinese characters and Shidinn words, the language integrates a constructed script with influences from southwestern Mandarin phonology, although it significantly deviates to establish a regularized sound system.
Writing System and Phonology
editShidinn utilizes a character set of 45 letters[1] and 43 extensions, each representing both a semantic component and a phonetic element. The phonetic series is based loosely on southwestern Mandarin[2], but prioritizes creating a more regular sound system over perfect alignment with Chinese pronunciation. This results in a theoretical pronunciation for every Shidinn character.

Current Status
editShidinn remains an incomplete language. While the phonology and vocabulary are established, grammar is largely missing. Huáng reportedly developed a grammar system, but has lost most of his manuscripts. Subsequent Shidinn texts by Huáng are essentially transliterations of Chinese saying that "Shidinn" often refers specifically to the established phonology and vocabulary, similar to the concept of absolute geometry in mathematics.
Several Shidinn communities have emerged online[10][11] , with some members attempting to adapt Huáng's phonology to newly created grammar systems. Lantern riddles, prose, poetry, novels and songs written in the language have formed a distinctive Shidinn culture.[12] Linguistic enthusiasts have added bricks to the Shidinn edifice by inventing many Shidinn dialects[13] like Common Shidinn, Standard Shidinn, Shilu, and Shidio-Zhiyuanian. Technologies related to the language have also been developed, such as computer fonts, translators, input methods and operating systems. Although no sovereign state has yet granted official status to the language, academic research on the Shidinn language is ongoing.[14] It's important to note that "Shidinn" often refers specifically to the established phonology and vocabulary, similar to the concept of absolute geometry in mathematics.
Further Research
editDue to the lack of a finalized grammar and the obscurity of the language, further research is needed to fully understand Shidinn's capabilities and potential as a constructed language.
