Mandarin readings
Can it be added in which contexts the two different Mandarin readings are used? 204.11.186.190 13:49, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Done. There is only one reading. 204.11.186.190 16:33, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Hakka
Thanks for the dialectal readings and the split. I noticed that Hakka Wikipedia uses "chhàm" for the "station" sense. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:54, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * From the tone mark, it looks like a classic case of mixing different versions of PFS. Chhàm would be from MacIver's dictionary (客英大辭典). — justin(r)leung { (t...) 04:29, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Etymology 2
Why is a word meaning "post station or road" considered Mongolian? A liaison object on the road that has an employee receiving information or collecting a fee. Most likely it is of Turkic origin and got into the Mongolian language, and from there into Chinese. After all, it was Turkic words that entered the Mongolian language. Mongolian writing was based on the Turkic Uyghur. But in the Turkic languages, which are located far from Mongolia, there are practically no Mongolian words in them. It is the Turkic language that influenced the Mongolian language, and not vice versa. Just look at the languages ​​of the Bashkirs, Tatars, Nogais, Caucasian Turkic-speaking peoples (Balkars or Kumyks, for example). Where is the influence of the Mongolian language? In addition, the word meaning profession (Mongolian замч), it is a typical Turkic "root of the word" + "suffix" - Turkish yamçı "yam + -çı". For example, from Tatar (Kipchak language), "итче" - "ит" + "-че" butcher, "сатучы" - "сату" + "-чы" seller, "сакчы" - "сак" + "-чы" guard. 37.79.68.126 00:02, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
