Chao’s tonal spelling system; in this exceptional case, a doubled a is used to represent the third-tone a in Shǎnxī, rendering the province’s name as “Shaanxi”.Shaanxi is China’s own spelling for this,The official English-language names for the two provinces are:(1) Shanxi Province (山西) with only one 'a' (capital: Taiyuan) and(2) Shaanxi Province (陝西) with two a's (capital: Xi'an).The Chinese characters used in the names of the two provinces are different (the character 山 in Shanxi versus the character 陝 in Shaanxi). It is alternatively sometimes written with the diacritical marks, in which case the names of the two provinces are distinguishable. References
