Penang Hokkien - English Dictionary

The Penang Hokkien-English Dictionary lists words used by the Penang Hokkien. View also the English - Penang Hokkien Dictionary. The numbers after each syllable denotes Intonation. This will not be found in daily use, and are shown here only as a guide.

Words are arranged alphabetically by syllable. As of now, the spelling convention is still being refined. With the Phase II refinement of the spelling and pronunciation of this lesson in July 2013, I have added symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to represent the expected pronunciation, with each syllable separated out by hyphen. Refer to thespelling guide for how to pronounce the IPA symbols. The IPA symbols are shown without the tone marks.




Words marked with RW are Regular Words that do notsandhi. Irregular Words of more than one syllable only sandhi their last syllable.
