This will be somewhat tricky... > Yue looks easy, all information I looked for says traditional. This is not strictly speaking correct. People in mainland China or who have a stronger connection to mainland China (than to Hong Kong, for example) will write Yue in simplified (using, as far as I can tell, a *different* convention than what's used in Hong Kong). (I came from Hong Kong, so I have every reason to tag along and just say traditional. But that will be contrary to my observations.) -- Ambrose Li // http://o.gniw.ca / http://gniw.ca If you saw this on CE-L: You do not need my permission to quote me, only proper attribution.
