Talk:Chinchew

@Wyang, @Justinrleung any idea where this romanization might be from? Doesn't seem to match any of the pronunciations listed on the 泉州 page. --Prisencolin (talk) 21:18, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

@Prisencolin: I remember reading somewhere that it comes from the Quanzhou pronunciation of 漳州, but I can't remember where. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 22:23, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

@Prisencolin, Justinrleung Encyclopædia Britannica (1902) discussed this word and how the confusion arose. It appears this form may be a variant of the earlier Chincheo, used by Jesuits of the 16th and 17th centuries. Wyang (talk) 02:21, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
