Can someone please romanize my name?

[Duan Li]

Hi my name is 陳端利 (Chen Duan Li in Mandarin). However, I'd prefer to use the Hokkien (like the Hokkien people in Singapore). Could someone please romanize the name or direct to a website that could do it for me? I know the first would be Tan, but I don't know how to romanize the remaining two characters. If someone is kind enough to romanize, could they please also state whether it is Singaporean/Malaysian-Hokkien, or Taiwanese-Hokkien

Hi Duan Li,

your name in hokkien, if you go by the way of spelling here in malaysia/singapore region, should be tuan lee. If you are familiar with the hokkien tones, tuan is in the 陰入 tone and lee is in the 陰去 tone.

Can non -p -t -k -? sounds really be classified as a Ru 入 sheng? Tuan can't be 入 tone because it ends in a nasal.

Hi Duan Li

In Church Romanization your name is Tan5 Tuan1 Li7 (5 = 陽平; 1 = 陰平; 7 = 陽去). As pointed out by Yisheng, people in Singapore and Malaysia usually romanize it as Tan Tuan Lee.

Dylan, I agree that I have never encounter nasal endings in 入 tones.

Hi Dylan and Niuc,

thanks for pointing out my mistake on tones. I think you will see lots of mistakes from me in the future regarding tones. But regarding nasal endings in 入 tone, what about words like 物 and 膜 ?

Hi Yisheng

I also had problem on tone names last time. After a while you will be familiar with them too.

Thanks for pointing out about 物 mi8 and 膜 mo8 (8 = 陽入). It will be more precise to say that I have never encountered -m, -n, -ng endings in 入 tones. For me, 麵 mi7 and 物 mi8 are 'mi' sound with different tones, but many experts say that mi8 has glottal stop and write it as mih8 or mi?8.
