Pronunciation edit


Note:
  • bhag8 li6 huê1 - Chaozhou (Duffus 1883, p. 157, s.v. “jasmin”);
  • mag8 li6 huê1 - Chaozhou (Chaozhou yin zidian);
  • muêg8 li6 huê1 - Chaozhou (mogher.com [with the first character as well in literary reading], s.v. “茉” & “莉” & "花”);
  • muag8 li6 huê1 - Chaoyang, Chenghai, Huilai, Jieyang, Puning, Raoping, Shantou (all from the Chaozhou yin zidian) [These dialects' pronunciation likewise has the first two characters in literary readings, the contrast in vowel between it and the regional capital's last form here being due simply to one of the differences between that dialect's historical phonology and these others'.].
