Ciangciw-oe

Ciangciw-oe 🔊 (Zhangzhou dialect)

Notes

• Source of the "southern accent" of Taiguo. Both Gilaan (Yilan) and Taitiofng accents lean toward Ciangciw-oe.
  • It's the basis for writing Taai+oaan as Taioaan (tone #5 changes to tone #7, see tone sandhi).
• Source of the western terms Amoy ([e˨˩mui˧˥]) and Quemoy ([kim˧˧mui˧˥])
• The distinguishing feature of the coastal speech is the use of the vowel ‘vui’ in place of ‘ng’.
