About

The Chinese word "以色列" for "Israel" is formed through phonetic transliteration, where each character is chosen solely for its sound to approximate the foreign name: "以" (yǐ) corresponds to the initial "I" sound, "色" (sè) represents the "sra" or "se" sound, and "列" (liè) matches the "el" or "l" sound, collectively creating the pronunciation "Yǐsèliè" that mimics "Israel".
