@Justinrleung Any reason why use "儂" instead of "人" here? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 03:26, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser: This is mostly to differentiate 丈人 (inland Min) from 丈儂 (coastal Min) so that they're different on the map. The actual entries should probably be at 丈人. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 03:30, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: So Min Bei vs. Min Dong and Min Nan? Why is there a need to differentiate though? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 03:31, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser: Because Min Bei doesn't use 儂. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 03:34, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: I mean any reason why we can't just show "丈人" for Min Dong and Min Nan in the dialectal synonym list? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 03:35, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser: Because 人 and 儂 are technically different words, so I wanted them to be different on the maps. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 03:36, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: Oh, I get it, it's simply for the map's sake. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 03:56, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser: Yup, that's the only real reason. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 04:00, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
