Tâi-uân Lô-má-jī Phing-im Hong-àn

(Redirected from Tai-lo)

The official romanization system for Taiwanese Hokkien (usually called "Taiwanese") in Taiwan is known as Tâi-uân Tâi-gí Lô-má-jī Phing-im Hong-àn,[I][1] often shortened to Tâi-lô. It is derived from Pe̍h-ōe-jī and since 2006 has been one of the phonetic notation systems officially promoted by Taiwan's Ministry of Education.[2] The system is used in the MoE's Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan. It is nearly identical to Pe̍h-ōe-jī, apart from: using ts tsh instead of ch chh, using u instead of o in vowel combinations such as oa and oe, using i instead of e in eng and ek, using oo instead of o͘, and using nn instead of ⁿ.

Taiwanese Romanization System

Alphabet

edit

The Taiwanese Romanization System uses 16 basic Latin letters (A, B, E, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, S, T, U), 7 digraphs (Kh, Ng, nn, Oo, Ph, Th, Ts) and a trigraph (Tsh). In addition, it uses 6 diacritics to represent tones.

Capital letter Lower case IPA Letter name (variant 1) Letter name (variant 2)
A a [a] a a
B b [b] bi be
E e [e] e e
G g [ɡ] gi ge
H h [h, ʔ] hi ha
I i [i] i i
J j [d͡z] ji je
K k [k] ki ka
Kh kh [kʰ] khi kha
L l [l] li e-luh
M m [m] mi e-muh
N n [n] ni e-nuh
Ng ng [ŋ] ngi nge
NN nn [◌̃] inn enn
O o [o] o o
Oo oo [ɔ] oo oo
P p [p] pi pe
Ph ph [pʰ] phi phe
S s [s] si e-suh
T t [t] ti te
Th th [tʰ] thi the
Ts ts [t͡s] tsi tse
Tsh tsh [t͡sʰ] tshi tshe
U u [u] u u
  • nn is only used after a vowel to express nasalization, so it only appears capitalized in all-caps texts.
  • Palatalization occurs when j, s, ts, tsh are followed by i, so ji, si, tsi, tshi are sometimes considered multigraphs.
  • Of the 10 unused basic Latin letters, R is sometimes used to express dialectal vowels (ir and er), while the others (C, D, F, Q, V, W, X, Y, Z) are only used in loanwords.

白話字是一款用拉丁（羅馬）拼音系統來寫臺灣的語言的書面文字。因為當初是傳教士引入來的，所以也有人共白話字叫做教會羅馬字，或者是簡稱教羅。不而過現代的使用者袂少毋是教徒，教徒嘛真濟袂曉白話字。

A hyphen links elements of a compound word. A double hyphen indicates that the following syllable has a neutral tone and therefore that the preceding syllable does not undergo tone sandhi.

Computing

edit

The IETF language tags register nan-Latn-tailo for Tâi-lô text.[3]

Unicode codepoints

edit

The following are tone characters and their respective Unicode codepoints used in Tâi-lô. The tones used by Tâi-lô should use Combining Diacritical Marks instead of Spacing Modifier Letters used by bopomofo.[4][5] As Tâi-lô is not encoded in Big5, the prevalent encoding used in Traditional Chinese, some Taiwanese Romanization System letters are not directly encoded in Unicode, instead should be typed using combining diacritical marks officially.[6]

Notes
1.^ Yellow cells indicate that there are no single Unicode character for that letter; the character shown here uses Combining Diacritical Mark characters to display the letter.[5]

Characters not directly encoded in Unicode requires premade glyphs in fonts in order for applications to correctly display the characters.[5]
