  k    aspirated k, as in kill
  h   like the English h if followed by "a"; otherwise it is pronounced more roughly  (like the Scots ch or Russian х)

  j   like q, but unaspirated. While this exact sound is not used in English, the closest match is the j in ajar, not the s in Asia.
  q    like cheek, with the lips spread as when you say ee.
  x   like she, with the lips spread as when you say ee. The sequence "xi" is like Japanese し.
  zh  ch with no aspiration (a sound between joke and church, tongue tip curled more upwards)
  ch  as in chin, but with the tongue curled upwards; very similar to nurture in American English, but strongly aspirated
  sh as in shoe, but with the tongue curled upwards; very similar to marsh in American English
   r  Similar to the English z in azure, but with the the tongue curled upwards, like a cross between English "r" and French"j".
   z   unaspirated c (something between suds and cats)
   c   like ts in bats, however more aspirated
   s   as in sun
   w as in water. Note that "wu" is pronounced somewhere between wooed and ude.
   y  as in yellow. Note that "yi" is pronounced somewhere between yield and eel. "Yu" is a different sound altogether, as it represents "ü" in initial position.
