Timothy Tye Penang Hokkien

I have an online friend called Timothy Tye. He is a Penang Hokkien, and he also created a website to learn Hokkien, obviously Penang Hokkien. The writing system he uses is called Taiji.

Taiji also uses ABC to write and numbers as the tone markers. Its U and O are also written differently for different meanings. For example, kau4 (Taiji) = kau4 (Medan Hokkien) = 9️⃣, kao4 (Taiji) = kau4 (Medan Hokkien) = 🐶. Words that have the same sound but different meanings are also spelled differently. For example, ee1 (Taiji) = i1 (female) = 👩, ie1 (Taiji) = i1 (male) 👨, i1 (Taiji) = i1 (object) 🧸.

Penang Hokkien and Medan Hokkien share 90% similarity. So if you want to learn Penang Hokkien, you can visit Timothy Tye's website.
