Taiwanese Language Variant
The Tongyong Pinyin system also exists in a Taiwanese phonetic symbol version (Chinese: 臺語音標版), Daighi tongiong pingim, which lacks the letter f but adds the letter bh (for bhān-万). However, in 2006, the Ministry of Education rejected the use of Daighi tongiong pingim (Chinese: 臺語通用拼音) for the Taiwanese dialect in favor of Pe̍h-ōe-jī (Chinese: 台羅版拼音).

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or variant:
“Our goal as a parent is to give life to our children’s learning—to instruct, to teach, to help them develop self-discipline—an ordering of the self from the inside, not imposition from the outside. Any technique that does not give life to a child’s learning and leave a child’s dignity intact cannot be called discipline—it is punishment, no matter what language it is clothed in.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
““I am willing to die for my country” is a variant of “I am willing to kill for my country.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
