Talk:六合

Lu/Liu

Here are some resources I have complied concerning the pronunciation of the name of Nanjing's 六合区. They are also cited on the Luhe District page and the Nanjing page on Wikipedia.

• "六合作家认为"liu"读音更靠谱". 六合区政府门户网站 (in Simplified Chinese). 南京市六合区人民政府办公室. 7 November 2014. Retrieved 2 April 2018. "而在日常工作生活中，王家干也遇到过很多“liu”、“lu”混读的情况，他说，本地人习惯读“lu”，而外地人常常读“liu”，有一次央视著名主持人朱迅来南京做节目，就读成“liu he”，工作人员纠正过她，但这个"错误"实在难以改过来。" http://njlh.gov.cn/www/njlh/res_mb_a3914110711376.htm ----Zhu Xun

We should unquestionably record common 'incorrect' or 'colloquial' pronunciations. If Zhu Xun, native of Jiangsu and a broadcaster, doesn't know this pronunciation, then just about no one knows this.
