Shane, 二 is also pronounced "yi" when it precedes "jap". I pronounce it as "no" whenever it precedes anything else, like "bet", "chai", "buong"... Also, whenever reading numbers to someone one at a time, like in phone numbers, "ek" (or "iao") and "yi" are used in place of "jek" and "no".

[edit] Chaozhou

I think I have misinterpreted some points. Perhaps I was too tired when editing and read the wrong line. :)

In early times, Chaozhou was influenced by minorities from Nanyue. Later, as many Chaoshan people migrated to Southeast Asia, local languages like Thai, Khmer, Vietnamese and Malay affected Chaozhou in those areas.

Since I am not sure, I took away this at the moment, until that statement can be verified. I will make similar amendments on the Chinese version. By the way, which you does 汝 refer to?--Fitzwilliam 14:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. When I have time, I will find the books listed in the article. :)--Fitzwilliam 03:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
