The Romanization of Chinese used in Taiwan is not standardized. Most older place names and personal names are derived from a bastardized version of Wade-Giles. Though the national government mandated the controversial and oft-maligned Tongyong Pinyin system in 2002, local governments are free to override the order. Some local governments, such as that of Taipei City, have converted their street signs to Hanyu Pinyin, which sometimes results in a street sign posted by the city government next to a street sign by the national government having different romanization conventions. For example, Zhongshan, Chungshan, Jungshan and Jhongshan can easily be the same.
