Help!

Does anyone on my friends list speak/write Chinese? I'm looking for the Chinese word for grandmother, written out in the roman alphabet. Can anyone help me out on this?

I am leaving the tones

.. if you want them, tell me
btw there are several names for grand-mother. Here a selection:
mother's mother: wai-po
or father's mother: zu-mu or nai-nai

If you run into this again, I have a friend who speaks Mandarin and Cantonese (I think she speaks both).
