correct braille spelling of Beijing

[Chris Clemens]

I've seen Beijing's syllable division divided two different ways:
Be-ijing and
Bei-jing (my preference)

So, would Beijing be brailled with a dropped "b", i, j, (ing)?
Or; b, e, i, j, (ing)

Thank you,
Jenny

Hi Jenny,

Are you dividing this word or just needing clarification on pronunciation? The Bei in Beijing says "bay" as far as I know ... so you would not use the "Be" contraction. It would be brailled using the "ing" contraction. Beij(ing).

Have a great day!
