Michaelyus 271 Report post Posted August 4, 2014 Found this recently. Nice to see a Min branch other than 闽南 represented with an online dictionary! http://cidian.cuobian.com/ I can't quite work out what romanisation is being used; it's a little bit like the Li Zhuqing Fuzhou-English dictionary one though. For all those who want more resources, there is of course GnuDoyng's classic resource list and the official course for the Ministry of Education on Matsu, as well as the Fuzhounese programming on FZNTV (including the 福州话学堂 TV course and 攀讲 news).

Michaelyus 271 Report post Posted March 22, 2018 Now that Cuobian is no longer with us... and neither is the 福州话学堂 TV course ... We have this which is quite well-maintained. Also comes with an APP. EDIT: 2 and a bit years later, we must 告別 this website too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ParkeNYU 60 Report post Posted March 27, 2018 I've been looking everywhere for one of these! Thank you! I like to go to Fuzhounese restaurants but I was never brave enough to even attempt to use anything except Mandarin, since the Fuzhou dialect seemed so distant and elusive.

There are certain phonological things that make it sound exotic to many other speakers of Chinese varieties! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two main features stick out like sore thumbs: 1) Diphthongs preceding codas (e.g. 'eing', 'aing', 'oung', etc.) 2) Vowel sandhi in addition to tone sandhi (e.g. /yŋ/>/œyŋ/) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelyus 271 Report post Posted June 26, 2020 Just updating the above to say that as of mid-June 2020, the dictionary that was on 120.25.72.164 has also ceased to function. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelyus 271 Report post Posted June 28, 2020 There is now however 榕典, with their rather well-known YouTube account. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
