I am working on an art project that I would like to collect the hundreds of
different transliterations of 「中文」 _zhōng wén_ in Mandarin Chinese.
(Pronunciation available here: [https://translate.google.com/#zh-
CN/de/中文](https://translate.google.com/#zh-CN/de/%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87))

How can I transliterate _zhōng wén_ in Japanese? (For example, "zhong wen"
would be the closest pronunciation in English.)

How to transliterate 中文 in Mandarin pronunciation to Japanese
In Japanese 中文 is read ちゅうぶん _chūbun_ and means "[literary] Chinese
(language)".

[Apparently](http://blog.goo.ne.jp/tanakaccci/e/31b832b3d1b31d89d6783298862036d1/)
the Mandarin pronunciation is usually transliterated as チョンウェン _chon wen_ (or
チュンウェン _chun wen_ ).
