Official pinyin spelling, Beijing Mandarin dialect, please?
By:answers.yahoo.com

Does anyone know if there is an online engine that would give the official spelling for: "Beijing" and "Zhongguo" according to the beijing dialect, (this is distinct from the "Standard Mandarin")?

In other words, is "Beijing" and "China", spelled in pinying the same way in Standard Mandarin as it is in Beijing dialect?

[[ The question is not frivolous. For example, in the Beijing dialect "Wo" is written "Wor", as is appropriate considering the added "r" sound added by beijing speakers, and Thus the official spellling in pinyin for Beijing dialect comes to be "Wor".

Thank you very much for your help.
