* Indication of tone by respelling, as used in [[Gwoyeu Romatzyh]], is eliminated. Syllables are spelled like its tone one for non-nasal initials, and like tone two for nasal initials. Tone is then marked with four [[diacritic]]s identical to Zhuyin's.
* The romanization of the consonants is identical to Gwoyeu Romatzyh's.
* The empty rime {{IPA|/ɨ/}} is treated in the same way as [[Yale romanization of Mandarin|Yale romanization]]:
** It uses ''r'' for both:
*** {{Lang|zh-Bopo|ㄖ}} (pinyin ''r''), and
*** what is written in pinyin as ''i'' after ''zh'', ''ch'', ''sh'', ''r''. (The use of  ''r'' has a tonal diacritic on it and is always final.)
** It uses ''z'' for both:
*** {{Lang|zh-Bopo|ㄗ}} (pinyin ''z''), and
*** what is written in pinyin as ''i'' after ''z'', ''c'', ''s''. (The use of ''z'' has a tonal diacritic on it and is always final.)
*** The ''z'' is not written after ''tz'' (no ''tzz''), however. ''Tz'' corresponds to Pinyin ''zi'' (and Yale ''dz'').
* Like GR, ''-iou'', ''-uen'', and ''-uei'' are all written out, unlike the [[Pinyin]]/[[Wade-Giles|Wade]] ''-iu'', ''-un'', and ''-ui''.
* GR's ''au'' persists, as opposed to the ''ao'' of [[Pinyin]], [[Wade-Giles]], and the later [[Tongyong Pinyin]].
* GR's ''iu'' (Pinyin ''ü'') is written as ''-iu'' and ''yu'' (alone).
* GR's ''-ong'' is spelled now ''-ung'' (like [[Wade-Giles]]).
* GR's ''el'' is spelled now ''er'' (like [[Pinyin]]).
* ''Y-'' and ''w-'' are added to or replace ''i'' and ''u'' (respectively), similarly to Gwoyeu Romatzyh and identical to Pinyin.

[[Space (punctuation)|Space]]s are generally used in place of [[hyphen]]s, except in personal [[name]]s, which use hyphens in between the syllables of the [[given name]]s.
