Other comments: Southern Min is a group of linguistically similar and historically related Sinitic languages that form a branch of Min Chinese spoken in Fujian (especially the Minnan region), most of Taiwan (many citizens are descendants of settlers from Fujian), Eastern Guangdong, Hainan, and Southern Zhejiang. The Minnan dialects are also spoken by descendants of emigrants from these areas in diaspora, most notably the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City. It is the most populous branch of Min Chinese, spoken by an estimated 48 million people.
In common parlance and
in the narrower sense, Southern Min refers to the Quanzhang or Hokkien-Taiwanese
variety of Southern Min originating from Southern Fujian in Mainland
China. This is spoken mainly in Fujian, Taiwan, as well as certain parts
of Southeast Asia. The Quanzhang variety is often called simply "Minnan
Proper". The above data is from Jinjiang dialect of Minnan. There are two form in Minnan for numerals 'one' and 'two': tsit53' and lŋ33 are only used in serial counting and with 'hundred' and 'thousand', while it21 and li33 are both used compound numbers in ordinal numbers. There are two forms ( normal form and fast form) for the compound numerals 21 to 29, 31 to 39 ... 91 to 99. |
