Teochew[edit]

@Mar vin kaiser Just wondering... where did you get the Teochew pronunciation? The WhatTCSay app says it's di7 dou5. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 23:39, 21 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Justinrleung: Thanks! I didn't know about that source, so I didn't know whether to use the literary or colloquial pronunciation of 圖. Now that I know, I'll change it. Btw, where did you download that app? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 04:00, 22 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser: AFAIK, there's no desktop version of the app. It's available for both Android and iOS. It's generally pretty good, but it is not based on the Chaozhou accent. It seems to be closer to a Shantou accent. I think the creator of the app is overseas Teochew, so there might be some discrepancies between their pronunciation and the Chaozhou accent. As a reminder, while Teochew has less literary-vernacular distinctions than Hokkien, I think you should only add Teochew pronunciations if you have a reliable source. Please do not infer pronunciations from the characters. The same rule applies for other lects. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 04:09, 22 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
