- 266 unique finals were found in the main entries of Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan. First, 17,916 rows in the two main sections (starting with #1 & #50001) were considered. A total of 35,859 TRS pre-sandhi syllables were collected, then 2,080 unique syllables were counted. Each syllable was converted into MTL and broken into initial and final parts. Then, the finals were counted.
