Chinese languages

Thanks! Another two changes it is, then

Haha, so one last change to my book. Thanks, you and amhoanne are great

MayebI am wrong, but I always thought that Ph sounds like a soft P, therefore resembling a B?

Thank you. I guess that wraps it up with the exception of 穫 and 璧. I suddenly realized I know this last character from my Dutch East-Indies ancestors. There it was written as Bik, which means it leans towards the POJ spelling of Phek. I will use that one, unless something cmes up from this forum. Ye...

Yes, in this case 章 is not a surname.

Again, thank you so much. Basically what's lft now is in the table below. Some of the characters we already discussed, I know.

Thanks, I really appreciate all your help. And it is amazing to meet people who are so thorough as you are. The list is getting really smaller now. I am going to put some more characters here: 俶 chhiok siok thek 瑱 chin thian3 tian5 田 chhân chhian5 tian5 tian7 與 í u5 u7 hou7 乾 kan khiân koann ta 伯 pe...

That's great. It really limits the options. I guess I am going to use the most common pronunciation and/or the most beautiful / positive word. Maybe some characters? thanks again, Elmer 唐 tng tông pong5 ta 曲 khek khiau khiàu khiok 寬 khoan khoaⁿ khòaⁿ khng3 天 phian phin thian thinn 樸 phok phak phoh p...
