Abstract: At present CPA(Chinese Phonetic Alphabet)abbreviations are often pronounced as English words.Obviously, this practice goes counter to the norm and is against reason. If the national nature of CPA pronunciation is to be maintained, indispensable policy intervention should be employed and necessary economic imput is needed for popularization. If such practice is taken as an accomplished fact and as an integration into international practice, then the CPA pronunciation is to be revised and it is to be submitted to the National People’s Congress for discussion. Only by doing so can the unification of the language fact, the language attitude of the Chinese community and the law and regulation of the country’s spoken and written language be achieved. What countermeasures are to be taken is yet to be decided after the cons and pros are weighed.

Key words: CPA abbreviation, pronunciation, language policy, national nature of the language
