The official romanization system for Taiwanese Hokkien in Taiwan is locally referred to as Tâi-uân Bân-lâm-gí Lô-má-jī Phing-im Hong-àn or Taiwan Minnanyu Luomazi Pinyin Fang'an (lit. 'Taiwanese Southern Min Romanization Solution'),[I][1] often shortened to Tâi-lô. It is derived from Pe̍h-ōe-jī and since 2006 has been one of the phonetic notation systems officially promoted by Taiwan's Ministry of Education.[2] The system is used in the MoE's Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan. It is nearly identical to Pe̍h-ōe-jī, apart from: using ts tsh instead of ch chh, using u instead of o in vowel combinations such as oa and oe, using i instead of e in eng and ek, using oo instead of o͘, and using nn instead of ⁿ.
Alphabet
[edit]The Taiwanese Romanization System uses 16 basic Latin letters (A, B, E, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, S, T, U), 7 digraphs (Kh, Ng, nn, Oo, Ph, Th, Ts) and a trigraph (Tsh). In addition, it uses 6 diacritics to represent tones.
Capital letter | Lower case | IPA | Letter name (variant 1) | Letter name (variant 2) |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | a | [a] | a | a |
B | b | [b] | bi | be |
E | e | [e] | e | e |
G | g | [ɡ] | gi | ge |
H | h | [h, ʔ] | hi | ha |
I | i | [i] | i | i |
J | j | [d͡z] | ji | je |
K | k | [k] | ki | ka |
Kh | kh | [kʰ] | khi | kha |
L | l | [l] | li | e-luh |
M | m | [m] | mi | e-muh |
N | n | [n] | ni | e-nuh |
Ng | ng | [ŋ] | ngi | nge |
NN | nn | [◌̃] | inn | enn |
O | o | [o] | o | o |
Oo | oo | [ɔ] | oo | oo |
P | p | [p] | pi | pe |
Ph | ph | [pʰ] | phi | phe |
S | s | [s] | si | e-suh |
T | t | [t] | ti | te |
Th | th | [tʰ] | thi | the |
Ts | ts | [t͡s] | tsi | tse |
Tsh | tsh | [t͡sʰ] | tshi | tshe |
U | u | [u] | u | u |
- "nn" is only used after a vowel to express nasalization, so it only appears capitalized in all-caps texts.
- Palatalization occurs when "j, s, ts, tsh" are followed by "i", so "ji, si, tsi, tshi" are sometimes governed as trigraphs and tetragraphs.
- Of the 10 unused basic Latin letters, "R" is sometimes used to express dialectal vowels (somewhat similar to erhua), while the others (C, D, F, Q, V, W, X, Y, Z) are only used in loanwords.

- 白話字(POJ)是一款用拉丁(羅馬)拼音系統來寫臺灣的語言的書面文字。因為當初是傳教士引入來的,所以也有人共POJ叫做教會羅馬字,或者是簡稱教羅。不而過現代的使用者袂少毋是教徒,教徒嘛真濟袂曉POJ。

A hyphen links elements of a compound word. A double hyphen indicates that the following syllable has a neutral tone and therefore that the preceding syllable does not undergo tone sandhi.

Unicode codepoints
[edit]The following are tone characters and their respective Unicode codepoints used in Tâi-lô. The tones used by Tâi-lô should use Combining Diacritical Marks instead of Spacing Modifier Letters used by bopomofo.[5][6] As Tâi-lô is not encoded in Big5, the prevalent encoding used in Traditional Chinese, some Taiwanese Romanization System letters are not directly encoded in Unicode, instead should be typed using combining diacritical marks officially.[7]
