Organization:Nicknames of Chinese universities

Short description: Nicknames and acronyms of universities in China
Most major universities in China are known colloquially by an abbreviated form of their names. For example, Peking University,[note 1] whose Chinese name is "běijīng dàxué" (lit. Beijing University) is normally just referred to as "běidà", taking the first syllable of each word "běi" + "dà".[citation needed] The full names, which are much longer, are typically only used in formal communications.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 While the name "Peking" of Beijing is no longer common, it is still commonly used in proper names. It comes from an older pronunciation before a /k/ → /tɕ/ sound change occurred in Mandarin, and can be found in the former system of postal map romanization.
