Buun-peh-i-thak (文白異讀; lit. literary-colloquial different reading)

Reading pronunciations (讀音) differ from spoken pronunciations/explications (語音/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.

Unlike other spoken Chinese varieties, characters used to read Zoanciw Hokkien have 3 different kinds of readings, namely literary (文), colloquial (白), and vulgar (俗). For example, the readings for 肉 (meat) are: literary liak, colloquial hiak and vulgar baq; baq is the most commonly used reading.

The following examples<ref>Victor H. Mair, How to Forget Your Mother Tongue and Remember Your National Language, University of Pennsylvania</ref> show differences in literary and colloquial readings in Taiwanese Hokkien.
