dián

dian2

Mandarin. Initially created as the pinyin of 䟍 (biān), but 漢語大字典 gives biān and diǎn. Now reads A syllable only realized when the syllable diǎn is followed by another third-tone syllable. Theknightwho (talk) 02:56, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

@Theknightwho: 现代北京口语词典 has some words with 點 that have dián (e.g. 點補 diánba, diánbu, diánbo; 點染 diánran) because the second syllable is 3rd tone but became neutral tone. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 16:44, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

BTW, @Theknightwho, the second reading in 漢語大字典 is diān, not diǎn. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 22:50, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

The crappy copy is the culprit yet again. Theknightwho (talk) 22:53, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
