    究竟台语有几个调，也要看看是哪个地方，像是鹿港的台语就有八个声调，而一般台南或台北、较多人使用的台语，都剩下七个声调了。不过，这可不是比赛，也没有谁声调愈多愈好，不然广东话有九个声调岂不是乐胜！

    • In the end, if we want to know how many tones that Taiwanese has, we have to look region by region. Lugang Taiwanese has eight tones, while in the Taiwanese of most people in Tainan and Taibei, only seven tones remain. However, this is certainly not a contest. It's not a game of whoever has the most tones is the best, otherwise Cantonese with its nine tones would have the easy victory!
