• Source of the northern Taiwan accents: Taipei, Hsinchu, and esp. Lukang.
  • In the early 20th century, Zoanciw-speakers were dominant in the north of the island and along the west coast.
• A number of pronunciation and lexical differences exist between the Taiwanese variants.
• A major feature of Zoanciw-oe is its tone sandhi: the curving-up tone changes to low-falling tone, instead of basic tone as in Ciangciw-oe.
  • For example, Zoanciw is said as Zoaxnciw, Taioaan as Taixoaan
