Chinese, unlike Western languages like English, French, and German, does not have an alphabet. Instead, it has something known as a "character system" that is composed of thousands of different symbols (known as characters) that each have a different pronunciation. So, rather than spelling, Chinese write characters. The Chinese word for "star" is 星. This is pronounced "xing1" in Hanyu Pinyin and "shing" in Gwoyeu Romatzyh.
