 * Ah, my mistake, you're adding it as an English-language term. That should be fine. Criteria for inclusion require three sourced citations in recorded media, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be a problem here. < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 09:11, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I see, thanks. And yeah, a simple search on any of the major news sites gives plenty of references. - MK (t/c) 12:38, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Re: your userpage
Granted, I'm not very good with comparative Asian phonology, but I think your charts are missing the effects of. For example, for 北, I see that the loss of the -k in Mandarin matches the formation of a new tone, in this case the third tone. I intepret the two Sino-Korean readings as being borrowings from different times, one from Middle Chinese (?) when the -k was still present and tonogenesis was at a minimum, and one during the formation of early modern Mandarin during the period of the Chinese protectorate. Of course, Korean is nontonal, so each time it gets normalized to the toneless romanization. Just a thought. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:29, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting. I'm not much of a tonologist, I'll have to ask a friend of mine. I haven't looked at the charts in forever, I think they need a bit of an upgrade. - MK (t/c) 01:11, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
