About

The Chinese word 新泽西 is formed through phonetic transliteration, where each character approximates the sound of a syllable in the English name "New Jersey": 新 (xīn) for "New", 泽 (zé) for "Jer", and 西 (xī) for "sey". The characters are selected primarily for their pronunciation rather than their literal meanings.
