# Teochew phrasebook

Teochew (潮汕話/潮汕话 Diê$^5$ suan$^3$ uê$^7$ or 潮州話/潮州话 Diê$^5$ ziu$^1$ uê$^7$), also Romanized as Chiuchow, is the main language of the Chaoshan region in Eastern Guangdong, around the cities of Shantou, Chaozhou and Jieyang. It is also fairly common in Hong Kong and among overseas Chinese, especially in Southeast Asia, with Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Pontianak and Johor Bahru being examples of Southeast Asian cities where Teochew speakers form the majority among the ethnic Chinese community.
Each of the three main Teochew-speaking cities in China, as well as each overseas region where it is spoken, has its own slightly different variant, though they are similar enough not to hinder mutual comprehension; the prestige dialect is that of Chaozhou, though the Shantou dialect is more commonly heard due to the city's economic dominance. The overseas variants are influenced by other local languages; the Teochew spoken in Singapore and Malaysia has loan words from Malay and Hokkien, while the Teochew spoken in Thailand has loan words from Thai.
All Chinese languages, in general, use the same set of characters in reading and writing in formal settings, based on standard Mandarin. This means that a Teochew speaker and a Mandarin speaker cannot talk to each other, but either can generally read what the other writes. However, when Teochew is written in a more colloquial form, there are significant differences with standard Mandarin, thus necessitating the use of some extra characters not commonly used in Mandarin, and meaning that a Mandarin speaker will not be able to understand everything. Use the Chinese phrasebook for reading most writing in Teochew-speaking areas.
Teochew is closely related to Minnan Hua and Hainanese, but only partly mutually intelligible with Minnan Hua and mutually unintelligible with Hainanese. Teochew is not mutually intelligible with Mandarin or Cantonese, but it is common for Teochew speakers to also know one or both of those. Foreigners in the region usually choose to learn Mandarin rather than Teochew because it is much more widely used.

## Pronunciation guide

Like other dialects of Chinese, Teochew is written using Chinese characters but employs its own unique pronunciation. Traditional Chinese characters are used in some overseas Teochew communities, while simplified characters are used in mainland China. Where differences exist, in this guide, we write the traditional Chinese characters before the slash and simplified Chinese character after it.
Peng'im, which was developed by the Guangdong provincial government in 1960, is generally the most common system for Romanizing Teochew, and will be used in this guide. See Wikipedia for details if needed. However, as most native speakers do not know how to read Romanized Teochew, stick to Chinese characters for written communication.

### Vowels

The letters a, i and u are pronounced as in Spanish, Italian and German.
Vowels of Peng'im :
| Letter | IPA | English example |
| a | a | father |
| e | ɯ | no equivalent in English, like Estonian õ or Korean eu |
| ê | ɛ | hen |
| i | i | see |
| o | ɔ | law |
| u | u | goose |
Vowels can also be nasalized in Teochew. In Peng'im, this is represented by an n at the end of the syllable after the vowel.

#### Vowel combinations

Vowel combinations of Peng'im :
| Letter | IPA | English example | Notes |
| ai | ai | my | pinyin 'ai' |
| ao | au | cow | pinyin 'ao' |
| ia | ia | - | |
| iê | iɛ | - | |
| io | iɔ | but hoil | |
| iu | iu | - | |
| oi | ɔi | - | |
| ou | ou | - | pinyin 'ou' |
| ua | ua | - | pinyin 'wa' |
| uê | uɛ | way | pinyin 'wei' |
| ui | ui | - | |
| iou | iou | - | |
| uai | uai | why | pinyin 'wai' |

### Consonants

While Mandarin only distinguishes between aspirated and unaspirated (unvoiced) consonants, and English only distinguishes between voiced and unvoiced consonants meaning-wise, Teochew makes a distinction in both cases. This means that aspirated unvoiced (p, t, k, c), unaspirated unvoiced (b, d, g, z), and unaspirated voiced (bh, gh, r) are all separate phonemic consonants in Teochew. Pronouncing everything accurately is therefore going to be a challenge for native English or Mandarin speakers. However, unlike in Mandarin, there is no "tongue rolling" (pinyin zh, ch, sh, r) initial consonant.
Initial consonanats of Peng'im :
| Letter | IPA | English example | Notes |
| bh | b | ban | English 'b' |
| b | p | span | pinyin 'b' |
| p | pʰ | pan | pinyin 'p' |
| r | dz/ʑ | jam | English 'j' |
| z | ts/tɕ | - | pinyin 'z' or 'j' |
| c | tsʰ/tɕʰ | cats | pinyin 'c' or 'q' |
| s | s/ɕ | sun | pinyin 's' or 'x' |
| gh | g | get | English hard 'g' |
| g | k | skin | pinyin 'g' |
| k | kʰ | kin | pinyin 'k' |
| d | t | Stan | pinyin 'd' |
| t | tʰ | tan | pinyin 't' |
| h | h | hat | English 'h' |
| m | m | map | English 'm' |
| n | n | net | English 'n' |
| l | l | line | English 'l' |
| ng | ŋ | sing | English 'ng' |
Teochew retains some final consonants of Middle Chinese that Mandarin has lost, such as b, g, and m. On the other hand, Teochew has lost the n final consonant that Mandarin has retained, and you will often hear native Teochew speakers mispronouncing the n final as ng when speaking Mandarin. The final m and ng are pronounced as in English, but b and g are different. They are similar to English p and k but unreleased. This means that the mouth moves into the position of making the consonant, but no burst of air is released.
Final consonanats of Peng'im :
| Letter | IPA | English example | Notes |
| b | p | span | pinyin 'b' |
| g | k | skin | pinyin 'g' |
| m | m | map | English 'm' |
| ng | ŋ | sing | English 'ng' |
Furthermore, an h at the end of a syllable in Peng'im represents a glottal stop (ʔ); this is the sound in the middle of the English word 'uh-oh'.

### Tones

Teochew is a tonal language, meaning that the tone must be correct in order to convey the correct meaning. There are 8 different tones, denoted with a superscript number after the syllable in Peng'im. Tone sandhi is rather complex in Teochew, which makes it a little harder to learn than Mandarin. In general, tone sandhi occurs on all syllables of a word other than the final syllable.
Tones of Teochew :
| Number | Name | Pitch | Description | After tone sandhi |
| 1 | yin level (陰平/阴平) | 33 | high | 1 |
| 2 | yin rising (陰上/阴上) | 52 | falling | 6 |
| 3 | yin departing (陰去/阴去) | 213 | low falling | 2 or 5 |
| 4 | yin entering (陰入/阴入) | 2 | mid stopped | 8 |
| 5 | yang level (陽平/阳平) | 5 | rising | 7 |
| 6 | yang rising (陽上/阳上) | 35 | falling | 9 |
| 7 | yang departing (陽去/阳去) | 1 | mid | 9 |
| 8 | yang entering (陽入/阳入) | 4 | high stopped | 4 |
Tone 9 as seen in the table occurs only after tone sandhi, and is described as a high falling tone.
