Notes
- Source of the southern accents, esp. Yilan and Taichung
- In the early 20th century, Ciangciw-speaking Hoklo people were dominant in the south and perhaps the central plains as well (Davidson 1903).
- A major distinction of Ciangciw-oe is its tone sandhi, which changes the curving-up tone to basic tone, as opposed to low-falling tone as in Zoanciw-oe.
- Thus, Ciangciw-oe speakers would render Taai + oaan as Taioaan.
- Modern Literal Taiwanese spelling follows the Ciangciw tone sandhi
- Ciangciw-oe is the source of the western terms Amoy ([e˨˩mui˧˥]) and Quemoy ([kim˧˧mui˧˥]).
