ji.taioan.org this site is a great/the only reliable resource for how to write things and what the history is. lots of traditional phonetic borrowing writings yeah which nerds come along later and try to replace w v tenuous "etymological" characters

icchantika @pad.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

a lot of words are also e.g. inherited and sinitic but irregular or obscure developments that can't be pinned down as the 白讀 of any canonical graph / non-sinitic substrate / phonetic loans from other sinitic languages / j*panese phonetic loans

icchantika @pad.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

hokkien 文讀 is v conservative and so MC is useful there, which primarily means all the modern terminology imported from japanese/mandarin. but the 白讀 trve 閩 stratum is older than MC and has its own stuff going on yeah

we shld make touching a poop our greatest taboo so when powerful people need blackmail material on somebody theyll make them do that on camera instead of hurting anyone. unfortunately we'd probably end up w a shortsighted Poop Touchers' Acceptance Movement fouling things up
