Re: Discussion: Taiwanese Grammar by Philip T. Lin
Many thanks Abun for the long and detailed review! I am very interested to hear about this book, I do not however, own an e-book reader.

Re: Hainanese!

Re: Hokkien Kelate (Kelantan Hokkien)
Not particularly logical. Isn't it impossible for you to make mistakes if you are the ultimate authority in what it right and wrong? I mean, you can break your own rules and then just call it an exception. What are the rules for spelling a certain sound a certain way? The reason why I ask this is be...

Re: Buddhist sermons in Penang Hokkien
Here is another huge selection of dharma talks in Penang Hokkien, this time by the late Bhante Suvanno. http://myhappymall.com/5th_Floor/Shop_5-001/Shop_5-001.htm The recordings are not quite as clear as those of Bhante Dhammavudho Thero, but my first impression is that Bhante Suvanno speaks in more...
