@ccount These back-formations from Japanese phonetic renderings are so interesting!
The area I'm currently living in, Wanhua 萬華, is named bc the Jp pronunciation (Banka) was close to the Hokkien of 艋舺 (Báng-kah), the original name, itself likely from an indigenous word meaning 'canoe'.

I am curious about the extent to which the Dutch colonization of Taiwan in the 17th century facilitated language contact and exchange, and how it influenced the presence of Dutch loanwords (or even syntactic similarities, and language structures) in contemporary regional Sinitic languages. Are there #Taiwanese people / folks living in #Taiwan here who know some Dutch loanwords in their language(s)?

Ready for today's #Taiwanese #台語 class. We're leaving the UK for Tainan in three weeks, so things are starting to feel real.

(The class went well, until we got into a discussion about whether the Queen [lú-ông] of England [Ing-kok] was — after the model of ancient emperors [hông-tè] — interred [tâi-khí-lâi] with her corgis [absolutely no idea...], at which point my rudimentary language skills failed me...)

The Shan Ling Xi #Taiwanese #oolong #tea.

After drinking this one, I decided that drinking oolongs so often is not the path that I want to go. This kind of tea is highly nuanced, so I feel like I need some time to rest and miss it before taking the next one.

The Da Yu Lin #Taiwanese #oolong #tea. Either yesterday my tongue was too sensitive, or this oolong has some kind of “explosive” taste, slightly pricking the tongue at the time of drinking and then.😃 The aroma is strong and energetic, full of flowers. It was an interesting experience!

@tea

Practising #Taiwanese #Tâi-gí, ready for my move to #Tainan in August. It's kinda fun.

It was an honour to meet the President of Taiwan @iingwen.
#Taiwanese people show incredible courage to defend democratic way of life.
As the war is taking place in the center of European continent we are united in our resolve to stand on the right side of history. https://t.co/MsqAe7Hzaa

Anyone out there know of any #Taiwanese / #tâigí / #台語 video resources with subtitles in either POJ or tâi-lô (not just hàn-jī)?

I've been watching the PTS mini-documentary series "查某人的跤跡" on Youtube, which is great, but I'm getting to the end.

The psychedelic electronica of taiwanese brothers, It will be very interesting their original atmosphere in the future.

So, the exciting news is that I'm off to #Taiwan this summer, where I'll be for a year or two. So alongside my teaching at Parami University, I'll be working on various writing/philosophy/research projects, and doing some fun stuff with my social enterprise Wind & Bones.

I'm trying to get to grips with #Taiwanese / #Tâigí by transcribing YouTube videos. This one is about women's history, books, Virginia Woolf, and ka-tī ê pâng-king (家己个房間) , or a room of one's own...

#LanguageLearning

Thought I'd have a go at translating a story from #Hokkien, just for fun and practice. It's about fox spirits and other kinds of nonsense. You can read the story here:

It was great for giving my rudimentary skills a workout!

#Taiwanese pilot's use #Winnie the Pooh on their patches.

Winnie the Pooh is the nickname of Chinese leader #XiJinping, which became a meme.
