| == Sorji (Numbers) == | | == Sorji (Numbers) == |
| There are two sets of numbers ([[sorji]]) in Taiwanese: the literary style (''peh'', usually used to recite numbers 0 through 9 on the telephone) and the colloquial style (''buun'', usually used to count objects). The colloquial readings come from Ancient Han Chinese/Old Chinese ([[Kor Harnguo]]) (ca. 0 BCE/CE), whereas the literary readings come from Han Chinese during the Southern [[Sorngtiaau|Song Dynasty]] (1127-1279) ([[Kixntai Harnguo]]).
| | When reciting phone numbers, a more formal reading style is used. For example, 0,1,2,3 are read: khoxng, id, ji, safm. Also, digits are grouped according to certain rules and [[tone sandhi]] is applied. See [[Khax Tiexn'oe]] for an example and [[Buun-peh-i-thak]] and [[sorji]] for more details. |
