Taixoaan

Two historical forms for writing the name of Taiwan using Harnji: 大員/大圓 (MTLP: Tai+oaan) (See wikt).
Two other historical forms, 台員 and 台圓 (MTL: Taioaan; [MTLP]: Taai+oaan) sound like Taixoaan in the northern accent, historically found in Zoanciw, Hokkiexn.
The modern Harnji for Taioaan is 台灣 (MTLP: Taai+oaan).
Another old variant is 台窩灣 (MTL: Tai'Qoaan; MTLP: Taai+Qf+oaan).
