Using the normal /zh-forms/ template causes this character entry to give "巊" as a one-box "traditional and simplified" character, but this isn't correct. 𪩎 is the simplified form located at U+2AA4E. I suspect it's a template/module issue; if you can help with the issue, I'd really appreciated it. Cheers! Bumm13 (talk) 11:55, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sorry for bothering you, I must have lost some brain cells over time and totally spaced out on how to do that. I think my mind has refreshed since I posted that comment about how to do formatting. Cheers! Bumm13 (talk) 02:14, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Frankly speaking I also thought it's a normal word used on both sides of the Taiwan Strait but after today when I found this I recalled and noticed it was indeed more rarely spoken and heard in the Mainland than in Taiwan. Yes you're right, it's on Xiandai Hanyu Cidian, but that was indicated by chiefly, I think.Maraschino Cherry (talk) 22:02, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

You might want to check out this TikTok channel: . I think she's a fourth generation Singaporean Cantonese, and her parents are not from Hong Kong. You can probably glean some pronunciation information from her because there are some very peculiar ways Singaporean Cantonese is pronounced. Notice how the "eu" vowel combination is pronounced more like an "io". The dog2 (talk) 06:14, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've tried to figure out what this (likely archaic) word/phrase means but no luck. Does it mean something like "to keep/obstruct from gathering"? That's the best I could come up with. Cheers! Bumm13 (talk) 23:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately, I don't think there is. It's part of a definition of an archaic Chinese character, so it's not all that urgent of a matter. I might try to find the source later. Bumm13 (talk) 01:22, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@AjaxSmack: You are right in that the tables don't need to be cited in the module. The general practice is to perhaps include a source in the edit summary, especially when things are not coming from commonly referenced sources. I had some doubts about whether all those terms you added are indeed used in Singaporean Hokkien; I guess I should've asked you directly rather than removing them entirely first. — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }22:42, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'll do it in the summary then. "are indeed used in Singaporean Hokkien" → were used in Singaporean Hokkien. They're mostly old newspapers. Thanks. AjaxSmack (talk) 18:34, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, before the adoption of 白話 by newspapers, I suppose the names could be read in any language, but the pronunciations are confirmed by more modern sources (like this — sorry, only snippet view) and already appear here in part in entries like 石叻. AjaxSmack (talk) 01:45, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@AjaxSmack: I don't recommend putting all of the forms under "Singaporean Hokkien" unless it is confirmed to be really used by Hokkien speakers (back then or now). There's a difference between what's written and the spoken language. — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }01:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@AjaxSmack: If they are the same word written in different ways, we generally only put one in the table. We currently have 石叻 as the main form; 息力 and 實叻 seem to be the same word. As for the forms with 埠 and 坡, do we have clearer sources? The second source seems to say it's 峇峇福建話, and the way it's written looks like it's kind of mixing some Mandarin-based writing like 吃 and 和, making it difficult to make out what is necessarily intended here. — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }05:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
埠 is covered here. I don't have access to print sources here, but this is a snippet of one. A cursory web search returns this and in the poem here. Singapore's Chinese name wasn't officially decided until the 1970s, and these variants were widely used until then (e.g. the Presbyterian Church in Singapore was called 實叻坡長老大會). AjaxSmack (talk) 23:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@AjaxSmack: The full text for the second link is here, but it's unclear whether that's referring to Singaporean Hokkien or some other variety of Hokkien. It suggests that 埠 is read as pho, which makes me think 埠 is representing the same word as 坡. The third link (codingnote.cc) points to Teochew, not Hokkien. — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }05:14, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I did, but I only see one reference for a later addition. There's no reference for the original creation of any subsequent additions (except that one) that I can tell. AjaxSmack (talk) 14:08, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Justinrleung Just wondering if you're aware of the problem with the current module that generates the labels for Hokkien. The word "Taiwanese" disappears when it's used together with another location label. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 06:38, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser @Justinrleung Apologies, I slightly messed up the function that postprocesses Chinese labels. Should be fixed now. I'm working on a new version that only removes 'Taiwanese', 'Hokkien' and such when the word "and" or "&" occurs. Benwing2 (talk) 18:19, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Just wondering why you have removed the Hakka pronunciation and added Malaysian Cantonese to the entry. I was under the impression that this kind of borrowing from Malay was a feature of Malaysian Hakka. Are you sure sou1 gaak3 is used in Malaysian Cantonese?
Hi, the Hakka pronunciation was removed because the module currently only works for Taiwanese Sixian Hakka and Meixian Hakka. Yes, it is also used in Malaysian Cantonese according to 馬來西亞吉隆坡粵語之馬來語借詞研究. — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }04:40, 26 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the new dialect table I created for 雜菜飯, is there a difference between 兩餸飯 and 三餸飯 in Hong Kong Cantonese? Is 兩餸飯 a generic term for economy rice, or does it specifically refer to economy rice with two dishes? The dog2 (talk) 22:15, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@The dog2: I believe it has to be two dishes, but I may be wrong. I don't exactly know if the idea of 兩餸飯 is exactly equivalent to 雜菜飯; these are similar concepts but may be too regional to be considered equivalent? @RcAlex36, Wpi, would you like to chime in? — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }22:18, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Based on my experience, 兩餸飯 is the generic name of this type of meal, so one would say they are going to a 兩餸飯 store even if they want to order three dishes. (There's also 雙餸飯 which is synonymous to 兩餸飯) – wpi (talk) 13:21, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Justin! First of all, I want to say that my knowledge of Chinese is very very limited. However, I'm intrested in it, and I found a Chinese word that I want to add to Wiktionary. I created a preliminary page for it, and I want to ask you some questions before I actually add it:
Does it even meet the CFI?
Is the pinyin correct? Particularly, do you need a space between cí and fāng?
Do you need the "Other tone-sandhi patterns may be heard" note? I just copied it from the 普法爾茨 entry.

This entry has had a module error for a while now because @Mar vin kaiser used a Hokkien syllable that the modules didn't recognize. I'm coming to you because I have no idea what the procedure is for addressing that (I don't think they know either), and I figure you would know- or at least know who knows. CAT:E is only for emergencies, and we can't have things sit there for weeks over simply not having the correct information in the right place. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 21:48, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Justinrleung: For one thing, "maŋ" is a licit syllable in both Jinjiang and Philippine Hokkien. The word is in 晋江市-方言志. It's definitely not saying "baŋ" because on p. 92, they romanized 蠓 as "baŋ⁵⁵". --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 00:37, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser: I will not comment on Philippine Hokkien here, but this does not agree with the note in the same source that m, n and ŋ only go with nasalized rhymes in Jinjiang. /ãŋ/ does not exist as a rime in Jinjiang as far as I know. It is more likely that this is a typo in the source. — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }00:42, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Justinrleung: Based on my interactions with Jinjiang people in Metro Manila, they speak the same way as us, where "pái" (擺) becomes "mái", m̄-bián (毋免) becomes "mián", "m̄-thang" (毋通) becomes "mang". I found this Douyin video of a Jinjiang woman talking, and on 06:55, she said "mang iá toā-sòe-sim". So the syllable "mang" really exists in Jinjiang, and my theory is that the person typing that just typed how they said that, so he typed "maŋ" for 雨濛仔 without thinking that it contradicted what it said in the rimes above. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 01:43, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser: I think contractions may be a tricky thing to work with as evidence. I also think phonological analysis for these things may not always reflect exact pronunciation always but may involve some level of abstraction. Because b-/m- are almost always in complementary distribution, it is also possible that the transcriber made a mistake. — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }01:48, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Justin. I just came across this entry which an anon IP added back in 2017. As you can see, its title features a pair of brackets. Is this acceptable on the English Wiktionary? I have never encountered this before. ---> Tooironic (talk) 23:43, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

The current gloss is not clear enough, it makes it sound like it's actually part of the production. Plus you reverted the addition of Jyutping, so overall, not an ok rollback. Akerbeltz (talk) 17:02, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Akerbeltz: I have reverted your edit again with an explanation. It is not restricted to stage instructions as it was the main language of performance as well before it was (relatively recently) replaced with Cantonese. It is also not a form of Cantonese, so it is wrong to gloss it as "stage Cantonese". This seems to translate it as "stage-Mandarin" or "performance-Mandarin". The pronunciation was also not correct, as 話 should be waa6-2, not waa6. — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }17:29, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sources, in the sense of a dictionary, no. But search for videos of 如此斷腸花燭夜 (for example this one at 1:37) and they ALL have it. The haa6 rather than saa6 was my mistake, but in any case, this is a Cantonese rendition of a Mandarin dialect variant of xiàqù with the usual x > s change going from Mandarin to Cantonese. If 老兄 > 撈鬆 laau1 sung1 is Cantonese, then so is saa6 ceoi2 Akerbeltz (talk) 17:10, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Akerbeltz: It is unclear to me that this should be considered Cantonese rather than actually 戲棚官話 (again, not a variety of Cantonese, but a variety of Mandarin). It seems quite different from 撈鬆 and 可惱也, which have incorporated into contexts outside of contexts where 戲棚官話 is expected. The dubious haa6 pronunciation, which you have since corrected, was also part of the reason for the revert. However, I don't know if the pronunciation of 去 is correct either; it seems to be ceoi3 rather than ceoi2 to my ear (also corroborated with the transcription given at the Wikipedia article Cantonese opera#Speech types. Either way, I don't think this is part of Cantonese. @RcAlex36, Wpi, Kc_kennylau, any thoughts? — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }17:37, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
On a purely practical level, either we treat it as Cantonese or we need a new Mandarin category, because if we're not willing to count it as Cantonese, then what ARE we supposed to document saa6 ceoi3 (or 3-2) under? Akerbeltz (talk) 17:53, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Agree with Justin's view that this isn't part of standard Cantonese, but a very specific type of speech used in Cantonese opera. And using the same logic one could have 知道(zi1 dau2) (which occurs as the next dialogue after the 下去 in 帝女花之香夭) or any other similar phrases found in Cantonese opera.
戲棚官話 is not and should not be treated as Cantonese. It is a form of Mandarin based on the historical Guilin dialect with Cantonese phonotactics, used only in Cantonese opera. It is simply not possible for Wiktionary to document every variety of Chinese in existence, and I would prefer that varieties spoken in the daily lives of many be documented instead.

儥記
Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion
I would like to know why this word is removed, as the character 𣍐 does not seem to correspond to the pronunciation "mae" and does not exist in the Foochow dictionary. That's why I added this word 儥記 ("mae kay") to the "Fuzhou" column.
儥记 | 榕典 (ydict.net) 220.255.254.15702:16, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, 儥 is a variant of 𣍐 (mâ̤) - because of how vowels work in Fuzhounese, this would be pronounced as /mɛ/ after tone sandhi in the phrase 𣍐記. 福州方言詞典 (1998) writes this word as 𣍐記. — justin(r)leung{ (t...) | c=› }05:27, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I originally left a message on User:Surjection's talk page however I received no response, and looking through the recent changes I found your page and you happen to be an admin, so I am turning to you for this request (though I understand that this page is not your domain of editing): as some of the etymologies state that the word coal is used on soyjak.party and 4chan as slang, the page should be updated to include the category English 4chan slang. I cannot edit it myself to add the category, so I would like to request that this category be added (it is already supported by some of the page content). Additionally, to the noun sense of the word please add #: Antonym:gem and to the adjective sense please add #: Antonym:gemmy.
