Chantaiyao 「全帯么」, commonly referred to as chanta, is a terminal and honor based yaku. For this yaku, every tile group and the pair must contain at least one terminal or honor tile. This yaku is more commonly referred by its shorter name, chanta 「チャンタ」. If there are no honour tiles in the hand, the hand is instead counted as junchantaiyao

Tile pattern

Waiting for:

Note: This hand is also waiting for , but it would not be chanta.

Formation

By definition, every tile group must include a terminal or honor tile. So combinations of tile groups involving 1-2-3, 7-8-9, 1-1-1, 9-9-9, and/or any honor pairs/triplet applies here. This brings about the limitations of the terminal tiles, by which they're at the ends of the 1-9 number scale. Often, this yaku is particularly made easier with tile calls; but closed hands are very much doable.

Chanta's pattern is similar to junchan; however, the two can never combine as junchan implies a chanta hand. Honroutou likewise implies chanta and is thus incompatible. Chanta with toitoi or chiitoitsu actually forms honroutou instead of chanta, while chanta with chinitsu is actually junchan instead of chanta.

Chanta is incompatible with tanyao and ittsu because both of those require a group which is not a terminal or honour---in tanyao's case, it is required of all tiles in the hand, and for ittsu, a 4-5-6 sequence is needed.

-Chanta's pattern is similar to [[junchan]]; however, the two can never combine as chanta requires honor tiles, while junchan does not.  Compatibility with [[sanshoku doukou]] is limited to the collection of either tile groups of 1s or 9s among the three suits; mix this combination with honor tiles, and it may have a good chance of [[honroutou]] as well.  Chanta with [[toitoi]] actually forms honroutou.
