| *We write this as {{y|Taioaan|t=5}}, because the curving-up tone converts to [[basic tone]] due to [[tone sandhi]].

| ===Details=== | |
| *The name "Taiwan" is derived from the ethnonym of a tribe in the southwest part of the island.
| |
| *Use of the current Chinese name 臺灣 was formalized as early as 1684 with the establishment of {{w|Taiwan Prefecture}}.
| |
| *However, in Taiwanese, "[[wikt:灣|灣]]" is usually read {{tts|oafn}} ([[Køtiau|high tone]]/#1), not {{tts|oaan}} ([[Hoesoaan-ym|curving up tone]]/#5).
| |
| *Thus it appears that ''Taioaan'' is more closely related to historical variants [[wikt:臺員|臺員]] and [[wikt:臺圓|臺圓]], where 員 and 圓 are both properly read as {{tts|oaan}} (''[[Buun-peh-i-thak|buun]]'' readings).
| |
| *You will find other cases where Taiwanese does not quite align with written [[Harnji]]: [[Køelaang]], [[Bafngkaq]], [[Pangkiøo]]
