Notes

  • Zoanciw was the source of the northern Taiwan accents. Taipei, Lukang, and Hsinchu accents lean toward it.
    • In the early 20th century, Zoanciw-speaking Hoklo people were dominant in the north of the island and along the west coast.
  • A number of pronunciation and lexical differences exist between the Taiwanese variants.
  • A major feature of Zoanciw-oe is its tone sandhi: the curving-up tone changes to low-falling tone, instead of basic tone as in Ciangciw-oe.
