Ncao Posted May 21, 2005 at 12:37 AM Report Posted May 21, 2005 at 12:37 AM They can just replace 州 with 城. Quote
Ncao Posted May 21, 2005 at 03:11 AM Report Posted May 21, 2005 at 03:11 AM 槟州好呀............ 对，我都喜欢这个名字。 Quote
skylee Posted May 21, 2005 at 03:16 AM Report Posted May 21, 2005 at 03:16 AM I don't quite understand the issue. To me, Penang is always 檳城. What are the other Chinese names in use? Quote
Ncao Posted May 21, 2005 at 03:22 AM Report Posted May 21, 2005 at 03:22 AM Some people call it 槟州(probably not Cantonese speakers) Quote
Ian_Lee Posted May 23, 2005 at 07:36 PM Author Report Posted May 23, 2005 at 07:36 PM How come their state governnment intend to promote Penang as 檳榔嶼 for their tourism campaign in China? It seems people in Penang are far less addicted to betel nut chewing as the people in Taiwan are. Quote
