MTL words with double reverse mapping
Revision as of 03:36, 25 December 2017 by LearnTaiwanese (talk | contribs)
A total of 96 MTL words that are homonyms were found in the Maryknoll Taiwanese-English Dictionary. This happens because of loss of tone information when syllables are put together to form a word (tone sandhi). In general, these words are two syllables, where the first syllable's citation tone is either tone 1 (high) or tone 5 (curving-up). Therefore two distinct words in POJ can map to the same word in MTL.
Combined with data from TBSS, the total number increases to 125 MTL words:
