Talk:呱呱

@Justinrleung The audio at Moedict suggests gu1 gu1 though. I'm quite confused about what the Taiwanese standard is. Wyang (talk) 01:50, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

@Wyang: The official standard in Taiwan is based on 國語一字多音審訂表. Now the problem is that there are two versions: ROC 88 (in effect) and ROC 101 (初稿, not yet in effect). The former has gūgū, while the latter has wāwā. Just to make things more complicated, moedict's 國語辭典 gets it data from two different dictionaries. The written content comes from 重編國語辭典修訂本 (which specifically has both historical and modern pronunciations), while the audio content comes from 國語辭典簡編本 (which has modern pronunciation according to the ROC 88 國語一字多音審訂表). See question 3 in this Q&A page. I'm not sure which version we should take as standard, but as a point of reference, the Cross Straits Dictionary (Chinese Linguipedia), where I usually look for Taiwanese standard pronunciations, has chosen to take the 初稿 as the standard. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 02:42, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Geez, thanks, this is complicated. I prefer recording both - gū as the old Taiwan standard, and wā as the new Taiwan standard. But then we need to make a page to explain what the standards are, in case people are confused. Wyang (talk) 02:48, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree. It could be put on something like WT:About Chinese/Mandarin. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 03:01, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
