Taai-oaan (Harnji: 臺灣/臺員/臺圓; Taioaan)
How do I say this?
- Put taai (curving-up tone) together with oaan (also curving-up)
- We write this as Taioaan, because the curving-up tone converts to basic tone due to tone sandhi.
- Modern Literal Taiwanese is inclined to the Ciangciw-oe variant. Taioaan (IPA: tai˧˧uan˧˥)
- You will also hear the Zoanciw-oe "accent" in the north of Taiwan. Taixoaan (IPA: tai˨˩uan˧˥)
