Tables of all the finals in Modern Literal Taiwanese (MLT/MTL) have been compiled. The final contains the vowel, tone, and any consonant endings.
- Seven Tones of Taiwanese, guide for spelling out all tones.
- Finals of Taiwanese in MTL, with uncommon finals grayed out and separate section for nasalized vowels.
- Example words illustrating 166 finals found in Practical Taiwanese Conversation (Level 1).
Method
266 distinct finals were found in the main entries of Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan. First, 17,916 rows in the two main sections (starting with #1 & #50001) were considered. Each TRS word was broken down into pre-sandhi syllables, yielding a total of 35,859 syllables, from which 2,080 distinct syllables were counted. Each syllable was then converted into MTL and broken into initial and final parts. Finally, the finals were counted.
- The ten most frequent finals (across the headwords) are: ar, ie, eeng, ii, ofng, i, efng, ix, o, and af tied with aau. Ar was found 997 times, af and aau 395 times.
- The nine least frequent, found only once, are: oafng, ob, om, oom, vaai, vau, viao, voq, vuix. They belong to words: oafng, lob, om, toom, pefngpeqkvaai, liengvau, gviao, `hvoq, khvuieoah.
- Data: Frequency count (ODS), and finals for computing (JSON)
