基松賓[edit]
Something doesn't feel right. Could this be the modern Mandarin transcription of Quisumbing? —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 03:28, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
- I don't know how reliable http://quisumbing.org/ is, but it has a little graphic with the text of 郭孫明, which seems much more plausible to me. —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 03:32, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
- I don't speak Chinese, I can't help. I doubt the other guy knows better. I'm assuming he readily added Hokkien as a root purely on the basis that the word is from Chinese—just like how he claimed most Filipino surnames as Tagalog. I can't speak for the other Philippine languages but most loans from Hokkien are names of food. Mandarin is taught in schools. Carl Francis (talk) 12:02, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
- IMO "郭孫明" is plausible (kueh sun bing > kui sum bing?). An anonymous editor added 基松賓 on the 22nd, presumably based on whatever came up in Google first. —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 02:10, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- In Cebuano, this has been hispanicized. We read it /ki səm biŋ/ or /kɪ səm biŋ/.
