Type: variant

Comments:

4. Intended meaning of the subtag: Same as the existing "pinyin" subtag
5. Reference to published description
      of the language (book or article): See the "any other relevant
information" field for details
6. Any other relevant information:
The request is a request to modify an existing entry, with the aim of
adding an additional prefix for the variant subtag "pinyin". The proposed
"zh-pinyin" tag would have same effect as "zh-Latn-pinyin" but it is
shorter and is currently in use in multiple places to reflect Chinese
content being written in Pinyin romanization, including OpenStreetMap. See
