Talk:鰻魚

Mandarin variant pronunciation

@‎沈澄心, SomeyaMako, 恨国党非蠢即坏, Tooironic, Justinrleung Is 鰻魚 commonly pronounced as mànyú instead of mányú in mainland China and Taiwan? (See [1], [2], [3] and [4]) RcAlex36 (talk) 09:00, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

I haven't asked, but probably. It is commonplace for speakers of Chinese to pronounce a character according to the reading of one of its components instead of a prescribed standard. ---> Tooironic (talk) 09:07, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

@RcAlex36: I think it's probably relatively common based on the videos you've linked to. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 09:09, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Yes it is and it’s considered as a mispronunciation as far as I know. --SomeyaMako 10:06, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

The same can be said of the character 鰻 itself (and thus all its compounds). 恨国党非蠢即坏 (talk) 12:46, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
