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:
“Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It’s a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.”
—Frederico Fellini (1920–1993)
““I am willing to die for my country” is a variant of “I am willing to kill for my country.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
