Teochew Romanization
Teochew Romanization, also known as Swatow Church Romanization, or locally as Pe̍h-ūe-jī (白話字, literally "Vernacular orthography"), is an orthography similar to Pe̍h-ōe-jī used to write the Chaoshan dialect (including the Teochew dialect and Swatow dialect). It was introduced by John Campbell Gibson and William Duffus, two British missionaries, to Swatow in 1875.
