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).

““I am willing to die for my country” is a variant of “I am willing to kill for my country.””
