| *We write this as ''{{tX|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 [[Taiwan Prefecture]].
| |
| *However, in Taiwanese, "{{wt|灣}}" is usually read ''{{tx|oafn}}'' ([[Køtiau|high tone]]/#1), not ''{{tx|oaan}}'' ([[Hoesoaan-ym|curving up tone]]/#5).
| |
| *Thus it appears that ''Taioaan'' is more closely related to historical variants {{wt|臺員|臺員}} and {{wt|臺圓|臺圓}}, where 員 and 圓 are both properly read as ''{{x|oaan}}'' (''[[Buun-peh-i-thak|buun]]'' readings).
| |
| *You will find other cases where Taiwanese does not quite align with written [[Harnji]]: [[Køelaang]], [[Bafngkaq]], [[Pangkiøo]]
