Notes
- ^ The two apostrophes here are not needed for native speakers (since *Hōngg and *Hōn cannot be a valid syllable in Hokkien), but is used within the official orthography. It would be written as Bbánlám Ōe Pìngyīm Hōngàn in practice.
- ^ Versions for the Quanzhou and Zhangzhou dialects are also devised, but not popular.
