==Literary vs colloquial ==
[[Category:Gwgieen-hak]]
In [[Hokkiexn-oe]], reading pronunciations ([[thag'ym]] 讀音) of [[Harnji]] differ from spoken pronunciations/explications ([[gwym]] 語音/[[kayseq]] 解說). [[Banlaam]] dictionaries in Taiwan often differentiate between such character readings with the prefixes 文 (buun) for the literary readings, and 白 (pek/peh) for colloquial readings.
 
The bulk of literary readings (文讀, bunthak) are based on pronunciations of the vernacular during the Tang ([[Toong]]) dynasty and mainly used in formal phrases and written language. So, literary readings are more similar to the pronunciations of the Tang standard of [[Middle Chinese]] than their colloquial equivalents.
 
The colloquial (or vernacular) readings (白讀, peqthak) are basically used in spoken language and vulgar (ordinary/common) phrases.
 
The divergence between literary and colloquial is due to several strata in the Min lexicon. The earliest, colloquial stratum is traced to the {{w|Han Dynasty}} (206 BCE - 220 CE, [[Haxn]]); the second colloquial one comes from the period of the {{w|Southern and Northern Dynasties}} (420 - 589 CE); the third stratum of pronunciations (typically literary ones) comes from the {{w|Tang Dynasty}} (618 – 907 AD).
 
Unlike other spoken Chinese varieties, characters used to read [[Zoanciw]] Hokkien have three different kinds of readings: ''literary'' (文 ''buun''), ''colloquial'' (白 ''pek''), and ''vulgar'' (俗 ''siok''). For example, the readings for 肉 (meat) are: literary ''liak'', colloquial ''hiak'' and vulgar ''[[baq]]''; ''baq'' is the most commonly used reading.
