Singaporean Teochew
In terms of characters, I don't have evidence since Singaporean Teochew is hardly ever written down. But I was using the character 科 because of how similar it sounds to the word in the Shanwei dialect, which uses that character, so they are likely etymologically related. And 予 is due to the similarity with Hokkien, which uses that character. The dog2 (talk) 19:10, 14 October 2020 (UTC)


 * It's not appropriate to use the Haifeng character for Singaporean Teochew because the Haifeng character itself is a 借音字 and we don't really know if they're etymologically related purely based on "similarity" without systematically comparing them. 予 is also difficult to ascertain because of the similarity in shape to 乞 /kʰoʔ ~ kʰɔʔ/, which could easily become /hɔʔ ~ hɔ/ in quick speech. Please go back to User talk:Justinrleung/Archive 21 to see what we've discussed before, and do not edit this until you've convinced me with irrefutable evidence. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 19:20, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
