[edit] Usage notes
- When by itself, 人 is always read as lâng. For compound words, Min Nan resembles Japanese, in that there does not seem to be a consistent rule for when to use the vernacular vs. literary pronunciation. Certain compounds will always use the vernacular (ex. siàu-liân-lâng young person), whereas others will always use the literary pronunciation (ex. Hàn-jîn (trad. 漢人, simpl. 汉人) ethnic Han Chinese).
