Talk:雅柏文

aa6 paat1 man4

@Wyang, suzukaze-c Do you think aa6 paat1 man4 should be here as well? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 20:55, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I think it should be here as well. A similar case is 派對／派对 (pàiduì). Wyang (talk) 21:13, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Alright, added aa6 paat1 man4-2. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 21:35, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Australian Chinese

@Wyang, maybe you might know better. Googling this gives lots of results from Australia. Do you think this is chiefly an Australian Chinese thing, just like 柏文 is chiefly North American? If so, aa6 paat1 man4(-2) might not belong here, unless that's how Australian Chinese people would pronounce it. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 01:21, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Hmm... — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 01:23, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

@Justinrleung Don't know if it's used elsewhere... 《全球华语地区词词典》 has 雅柏文∕雅博文 - Canada and Australia, but google:"雅柏文" -site:au -"澳洲" -"悉尼" -"墨爾本" -"墨尔本" -"西安" yields nothing from Canada, which means it's probably just Australia. I think we should leave aa6 paat1 man4(-2) in - this is probably how most people would pronounce it. Wyang (talk) 06:20, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

@Wyang: I've only seen/heard 柏文 and aa6 paat1 man4(-2) in Canada. The latter is also common in Hong Kong, but I've never seen it written as 雅柏文. Do you know how local Australian Chinese pronounce 雅柏文? If we put in an "Australia" label, the pronunciation should reflect how Australian Chinese say it. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 07:04, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

@Justinrleung I've definitely heard aa6 paat1 man4(-2), or more commonly, Cantonese-accent apartment, lol. Wyang (talk) 07:12, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

@Wyang: I see. I've added a usage note about its usage in Australia and elsewhere. Would that do? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 07:26, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

@Justinrleung Looks good, thanks! Wyang (talk) 07:30, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
