Ah-Bin Posted November 30, 2010 at 02:24 AM Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 at 02:24 AM It would be Go' Ui-han in the widely ued POJ system. If you are saying "Hokkien" I assume you have a lot to do with Southeast Asian Hokkien speakers (Chinese from China don't usually say this) and they might spell it Goh Ooi Han.

creamyhorror Posted July 26, 2011 at 03:02 PM Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 at 03:02 PM 吴 伟 汉 - óu Wēi Hàn Hmm, I think in Singapore we would pronounce 吴 "Goh". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelyus Posted August 10, 2011 at 11:01 PM Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 at 11:01 PM Something I've always been curious about. My given name includes ‘岑’; now, of the 7 pronunciations given by http://210.240.194.97/TG/jitian/tgjt.asp, which would be the literary reading? I assume numbers 4-7 are (judging from the reconstructed Middle Chinese as well as the Mandarin and Cantonese cognate reading) - but then which final? if all are literary readings, then which would be chosen? On what basis? On a side note, does anyone also have any idea why the final of this character has fractured so heavily [i.e. amongst its compound words, as seen here: http://210.240.194.97/iug/ungian/Soannteng/chil/chha.asp, which include chām-gám (站岑), chioh'-gám/-gím (石岑), gám-á (岑仔) but also tah'-gîm (踏岑) and ū-chām-gâm (有暫岑)]? Or is this fairly normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted April 22, 2014 at 11:56 PM Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 at 11:56 PM I don't really speak Hokkien so I'm not going to try to do the transliterations, but I think it should be possible for people to look (most) names up themselves if you know the basic principle is 白讀 for 姓 and 文讀 for 名 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
