Books of the Bible in Penang Hokkien (16 December 2023)
Bible-related Vocabulary in Penang Hokkien. The listing below is based on the Protestant Bible, with 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. I provide in English followed by Penang Hokkien in the Taiji Romanisation and Simple IPA in square brackets, as usual without tone indicators. As many Hokkien Bibles are written using the Missionary Romanisation, for the purpose of clarity I also include the transcription using the Missionary Romanisation in parenthesis. Also included is the Chinese characters for the Hokkien.
