-Xiamen was the port of trade first used by Europeans (mainly the Portuguese ([[Portugal-laang]])) in 1541. It was China's main port in the nineteenth century for exporting tea. As a result, [[Hokkiexn-oe|Hokkien]] had a major influence on how Chinese terminology was translated into English and other European languages. For example, the words "Amoy" (廈門/{{wt|下門}}; Exmuii), "tea" (茶; [[tee]]), "cumshaw" (感謝; [[kafmsia]]), and "Pekoe" (白毫; [[peqhøo]]), kowtow (磕頭; [[khaothaau]]), and possibly Japan ([[Jidpurn]]) and "[[ketchup]]" (茄汁; kiøzab) originated from Hokkien. The words "Amoy" and "Quemoy" (金門; [[Kimmngg|Kimmuii]]) more specifically originate from the [[Ciangciw]] accent of the Amoy dialect.
