ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

No personal attacks
Please do not use a user talk page in order to cast aspersions, or make personal attacks as you did in this edit. Instead, assume good faith, and treat other editors civilly. A pattern of uncivil behavior on your part, could lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 10:40, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Teochew people
Indeed, it seems odd that the Teochew people do not correspond to the Teochew dialect. But that's what the article suggests. For one thing, the populations don't match. For another, the article states that Teochew Prefecture is equivalent to the ancient Chaoshan region. So I think we need a better ref as to what the boundaries of the Teochew people are -- are the inhabitants of Shantou (汕头), Haifeng (海丰), Lufeng (陆丰), Shanwei (汕尾), Chaoyang (潮阳), Puning (普宁) and Huilai (惠来) all 'Teochew'? Because AFAICT they speak other varieties of Chaoshan than Teochew dialect proper. If the Teochew people do correspond to Teochew dialect proper, then our population for them is greatly exaggerated, and perhaps we need a better source.

The ref for the population says, 'causing Teochew to be referred now in mainland China as "Teo-swa".' But the Teo-Swa language is Chaoshan, not just Teochew dialect in the narrow sense, which is that of Teochew prefectural city. — kwami (talk) 20:05, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
