Talk:港

Mandarin pronuncation
I have retrieved the audio file File:Zh-gang.ogg because it is gāng rather than gǎng. Compare it with File:Zh-gāng.ogg and File:Zh-gangwèi.ogg. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 03:08, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Unusual romanization
There are two unusual romanizations for a location name in Taiwan that I have seen that seem to be related to this character- Luchiang and Lo-kiang, both seemingly romanizations for. Where's the 'i' from? See the page for details. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 22:27, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It looks like I must have stumbled upon another situation like that at Talk:津. 北港 and the 北港溪 in Yunlin, Taiwan are written as Pei-chiang and Pei-chiang Ch'i on the 'File:Txu-oclc-6557994-index-451.jpg' map- they seem to be reading 港 as some form of 'jiang' (Hanyu Pinyin). I couldn't find any reference that mentions this reading.  Do you have any ideas about what this is? Thanks for any help.

 * Looks like beifangization of a southern pronunciation similar to 江. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 23:09, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure where exactly the jiǎng pronunciation might be used. Xiandai Hanyu Guifan Cidian proscribes jiǎng - which probably means some people do pronounce it as jiǎng, at least in certain contexts. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 23:25, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I didn't even think to look! --Geographyinitiative (talk) 23:29, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Rough draft for future additional sentence on current usage notes: "Transliterations of geographical terms from Chinese characters into English using Wade-Giles has sometimes made use of this pronunciation, for instance, Sigang, Tainan, Taiwan has been transliterated as Hsi-chiang (would be written as Xijiang when transliterated via Hanyu Pinyin)." --Geographyinitiative (talk) 01:08, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

RFV discussion: November 2019
Is 港澳 really a valid Japanese kanji phrase? I don't really know Japanese, but not every Chinese word should be a Japanese word. Hkbusfan (talk)
 * "Should" is an interesting word. :)  FWIW, the term appears much more common in Japanese as part of larger compounds, but   shows enough valid, albeit rare, use as a standalone to meet our WT:CFI.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 19:09, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
