==Literary vs colloquial ==
[[Category:Gwgieen-hak]]
'''Literary readings''' of [[Harnji]] are usually used in formal loan words or names, when reading aloud and in formal settings, while '''colloquial readings''' are usually used in vernacular speech. For example, [[wikt:白|白]] can be read either "{{tts|pek}}" (literary) or "{{tts|peh}}" (colloquial). The existence of literary and colloquial readings is a prominent feature of some [[Hokkiexn-oe|Hokkien]] dialects and indeed in many Sinitic varieties in the south.
 
Unlike other spoken Chinese varieties, characters used to write [[Zoanciw]] Hokkien have three different kinds of readings: ''literary'' (文 ''buun''), ''colloquial'' (白 ''pek''), and ''vulgar'' (俗 ''{{tts|siok}}''). For example, the readings for [[wikt:肉|肉]] (meat) are: literary ''{{tts|liak}}'', colloquial ''{{tts|hiak}}'' and vulgar ''[[baq]]''; ''{{tts|baq}}'' is the most commonly used reading.
 
== Examples ==
The following examples<ref>Victor H. Mair, [http://pinyin.info/readings/mair/taiwanese.html How to Forget Your Mother Tongue and Remember Your National Language], University of Pennsylvania</ref> show differences in literary and colloquial readings in [[Taiwanese Hokkien]].
 
=== Harnji Readings ===
{{HokkienLiteraryColloquial}}
 
=== Sorji (數字; Numbers) ===
This feature extends to {{w|Chinese numerals}}, which have both literary and colloquial readings. Literary readings are typically used when the numerals are read out loud (e.g. phone numbers), while colloquial readings are used for counting items.
