wai ming Posted September 25, 2008 at 07:43 AM Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 at 07:43 AM If it's the sound you're looking for, 邱迪和 would be Yau Dik Wo in Cantonese (Jyutping romanisation: jau1 dik6 wo4). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeyah Posted September 25, 2008 at 10:52 AM Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 at 10:52 AM 邱迪和 is Hiu Thit Vo in Hakka (客家) hiu11 thit5 vo11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qiudihe Posted September 26, 2008 at 02:56 AM Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 at 02:56 AM In 上海话 anyone? Are these translation in Romanization of that dialect or Pinyin? Sorry The romanization gets confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai ming Posted September 26, 2008 at 08:24 AM Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 at 08:24 AM Are these translation in Romanization of that dialect or Pinyin? They are romanisations of those dialects. You can't sensibly use pinyin to transcribe the different sounds present in those dialects.

leeyah Posted September 26, 2008 at 09:26 AM Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 at 09:26 AM It would sound something like Chieu Dih Ghu Spelling 上海话 is impossible, if you've heard it spoken you'll know what I mean. The only way to find out is to ask a Shanghainese to read it out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qiudihe Posted September 26, 2008 at 11:56 PM Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 at 11:56 PM ^ Yeah I asked one today, she said something that roughly sounded like: Cheeyo Deeyo (qiu diu) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofmann Posted September 27, 2008 at 01:28 AM Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 at 01:28 AM Tang (Middle Chinese) is *kiou *dhek *huɑ...not that I speak it. I don't know what kind of romanization system that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
