Both pinyin and English are written with the Latin alphabet. The difference is that pinyin is a representation of pronunciation of Chinese words in a Western manner (where as in English there isn't a standardized pronunciation representation - however the IPA system is designed to be used as a pronunciation guide for a wide variety of languages, including the two in question).
