Reading pronunciations ([[thag'ym]] 讀音) 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. | ==Literary vs colloquial == | ||

Unlike other spoken Chinese varieties, characters used to read [[Zoanciw]] [[Hokkiexn|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. | Unlike other spoken Chinese varieties, characters used to read [[Zoanciw]] [[Hokkiexn|Hokkien]] have three different kinds of readings: ''literary'' (文 ''buun''), ''colloquial'' (白 ''pek''), and ''vulgar'' (俗 ''siok'').
