A small number of multi-syllable Taiwanese words are homonyms: same sound, different meaning. They are generally two syllables, where the first syllable's citation tone was either tone 1 (high) or tone 5 (curving-up) before tone sandhi. In MTL they are written the same, but in POJ they are not.

A total of 96 MTL words with this property were found in the Maryknoll Taiwanese-English Dictionary.

The following list of 125 MTL words includes data from both Maryknoll and Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan:
