Taixoaan (MTLP: Tai+oaan)

  • Two historical forms for the name of Taiwan (Harnji: 大員/大圓; MTL: Taixoaan; MTLP: Tai+oaan) (See wikt).
  • Two other historical forms, 臺員/臺圓 (MTL: Taioaan; MTLP: Taai+oaan), sound like Taixoaan in the northern accent, historically found in Zoanciw, Hokkiexn.
  • The modern Harnji for Taioaan is 臺灣 (MTLP: Taai+oaan). Note: 灣 is almost always oafn (high tone), except here.
  • Another old variant is 臺窩灣 (MTL: Tai'Qoaan; MTLP: Taai+Qf+oaan).
