Hey, why did you remove the redirect? In future, could you leave a comment in the talk section stating your reasoning? Cheers, prat

Sorry for not explaining before. The reason why I had removed the redirect is that "Hokkien" usually refers to the language/dialect, not the province. I hope that this new disambiguation page will clarify that point. olivier 02:54 Mar 24, 2003 (UTC)

As an English vocabulary Hokkien usually refers to the language, the people or the culture, and rarely the province. In the Hokkien language 福建, the name of the province and one of the many names of the language, is pronounced as Hokkien. — Instantnood 07:33, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dialect

Should not Fujian/Minnan be considered a Chinese language, not a dialect?

Also, should not Ximian be Xiamen? - Dpr 09:32, March 12, 2005 (UTC)

Modified as "spoken variant". — Instantnood 07:33, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Random comment

Jeez people, if you're going to disambiguate a link by yourselves (eg "...the Hoklo (Hokkien) people..."), there's no need to link to the dab page as well. -- Hongooi 10:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
