Shane, 二 is also pronounced "yi" when it precedes "jap". I pronounce it as "no" whenever it precedes anything else, like "bet", "chai", "buong"...
Also, whenever reading numbers to someone one at a time, like in phone numbers, "ek" (or "iao") and "yi" are used in place of "jek" and "no".

I think I have misinterpreted some points. Perhaps I was too tired when editing and read the wrong line. :)
In early times, Chaozhou was influenced by minorities from Nanyue. Later, as many Chaoshan people migrated to Southeast Asia, local languages like Thai, Khmer, Vietnamese and Malay affected Chaozhou in those areas.
Since I am not sure, I took away this at the moment, until that statement can be verified. I will make similar amendments on the Chinese version. By the way, which you does 汝 refer to?--Fitzwilliam 14:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Another editor has added the "((prod))" template to the article Tiechiu swadesh list, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the ((prod)) template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Do you have any examples of syllables with labial onsets in which "both Cantonese and Min languages have preserved labial codas"? Thanks, cab (talk) 07:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
