OK, I think I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying that some people in China say -iaunn

The ratio for ciangciu sects who use iunn is 30% ionn 60%. Douglas isn't right about this ionn in ciangciu.In fact last year I gave a ciangciu sects vowel chart with some sects only with iunn.People in China do listen to penanghokkien.com and find that the biggest mistake is this vowel.
