Hi Rulik,

Hokkien & Teochew are members of Minnan language group. Holo/Hoklo is another name for Minnan used in Guangdong, Hongkong & Taiwan, but not used in Fujian & South East Asia. Fukien is another romanization of Hokkien, may be of different dialect pronunciation. Usually Taiwanese means Hokkien/Minnan.

Fuzhouhua / Hokchew is either Minbei or Mindong language.
