Disenchant Posted June 9, 2004 at 08:26 PM Report Posted June 9, 2004 at 08:26 PM Do you have a Chinese font? Wade-Giles (or is the Post Office system, either way it sucks) is such a horrible transliteration system. Quote

pamokkha Posted June 11, 2004 at 03:48 AM Report Posted June 11, 2004 at 03:48 AM Hi zenboy, you might want to look here: http://www.chinalanguage.com/forum/read.php?f=6&i=459&t=459 Maybe this helps. DIOJIU (also known as "Teochiu", "Teochew", "Chaozhou" and "Chiuchao"), is a Chinese dialect spoken in southeastern Guangdong province as well in a diaspora that spans the world over. Although located in Guangdong province the dialect belongs to the Minnan language. Florian Quote
