Talk:冬蟲夏草

Hokkien and Teochew

@Octahedron80, do you remember where you got these pronunciations? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 05:42, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Teochew people in Bangkok. And also this [1] states "ตังถั่งแห่เช่า". --Octahedron80 (talk) 05:46, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

@Octahedron80: What about Hokkien? Did you just base it off of the Teochew? Teochew and Hokkien often don't have the same pronunciation (by correspondence). — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 05:55, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

I am not sure; I just select available readings each word. I cannot find some Hokkien people here. You can remove Hokkien then. --Octahedron80 (talk) 06:02, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

That's not something you should do. There's more than one possible reading for all four characters, and hēe is only used in Zhangzhou dialect. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 06:03, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

@Octahedron80: Okay, removed. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 06:04, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

I see 蟲草 said tw:thâng-chháu edited by you. Is it correct comparing this entry ? --Octahedron80 (talk) 06:05, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

@Octahedron80: Yes, it's found in 台日大辭典 and Tw-Ch台文中文辭典. Different words can have different readings, even if they are related. For example, Xiamen University's full name is 廈門大學 Ē-mn̂g Tōa-o̍h in Xiamen dialect, but it's 廈大 Hā-tāi in its short form. Also, are you sure about the Teochew reading you added to 冬蟲草? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 06:14, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for explanation. About 冬蟲草, it is "ตังถั่งเช่า" in page 2 of the PDF. --Octahedron80 (talk) 06:17, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

@Octahedron80: Okay, thanks! — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 06:20, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
