Longdu
珠江三角洲方言詞匯對照 gives the pronunciation as /muɔ33 tsɛu24/ and writes it as 麻雀. Is this the same word as 麻鳥? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 13:34, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes... very sorry for the confusion... The word for 鳥 is pronounced /tsɛu24/, word for 麻將 is pronounced /muɔ33 tsɛu24/... checking back I've noticed that /tsɛu24/ is transcribed as 雀 in several books, but the wiktionary page for 燕子 has written "'燕鳥'--written as 燕雀".

 * In that case, I think writing it as 麻鳥 should be the way to go here, and 麻雀 can be removed. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 23:48, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
