Pronunciation
- Put taai 🔊 (curving-up tone) together with oaan 🔊 (also curving-up)
- We write this as Template:Tts2, because the curving-up tone converts to basic tone due to tone sandhi.
- Modern Literal Taiwanese is inclined to the Ciangciw-oe variant. IPA: Template:Tts2
- You will also hear the Zoanciw-oe "accent" in the north of Taiwan. IPA: Template:Tts2
Proper noun
臺灣 (tr., MTL Taioaan, MTLP Taai 🔊+oaan 🔊, POJ Tâi-ôan, s. 台湾)

Usage notes
- Reading of Harnji "灣" is usually (oafn 🔊) (high tone/#1). The reading of "oaan 🔊" (curving up tone/#5) here is rare.
- Historical variants 臺員 and 臺圓 (Taai oaan 🔊) are both properly read as Template:Tts2.
