sebhk Posted June 21, 2010 at 02:16 PM Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 at 02:16 PM Do you mean that you are looking for an alphabetic transcription that resembles the Hokkien pronunciation of those characters? If so, does it matter which variant of Hokkien (Amoy or Quanzhou)? I think it could be something like "Ong Min Suan", but my Hokkien skills are extremely limited.
