Yup. It was most likely the direct inspiration for the idea (though it's been a
long time and I can't be sure). Though really this system is rather more like
Japanese, in the way that the same zi will have different readings depending on
the source language of the word--thus it's (so far) to be more semantic-based
than yingzi which was more phonetic-based.
