| ==How do I say this?== | | == Køq khvoax == |
| * Put ''{{x|taai}}'' ([[curving-up tone]]) together with ''{{x|oaan}}'' (also curving-up)
| |
| * We write this as ''{{X|Taioaan}}'', because the curving-up tone converts to [[basic tone]] due to [[tone sandhi]].
| |
| * [[Modern Literal Taiwanese]] is inclined to the [[Ciangciw-oe]] variant. ''{{x|Taioaan}}'' (IPA: tai˧˧uan˧˥)
| |
| ** You will also hear the [[Zoanciw-oe]] "accent" in the north of Taiwan. ''{{x|Taixoaan}}'' (IPA: tai˨˩uan˧˥)

| * Official [[Mandarin]]: {{wt|臺灣}}

| * Unofficial Mandarin: {{wt|台灣}}
| |
| * [[Simplified Chinese characters|Simplified Chinese]] and [[Jidbuun|Japanese]]: {{wt|台湾}}

| === 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 ''{{x|oafn}}'' ([[high tone]]/#1), not ''{{x|oaan}}'' ([[Hoesoaan-ym|curving up tone]]/#5).
| |
| * Thus it appears that ''Taioaan'' is more closely related to historical variants 臺員 and 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]]
