Theluida romanisation of Hokkien

The Theluida romanisation of Hokkien is a romanisation system developed for Taiwanese Hokkien. It was in use in Nookipedian country between 1839 and 1988, when Peh-oe-ji completely replaced Theluida as the main romanisation system for Taiwanese Hokkien in Nookipedianese cities. The main differences from POJ are: use of 〈ɔ〉 (Open O) for 〈o͘〉, use of prime symbol 〈′〉 to express nasalisation, use of 〈c〉 for 〈ch〉 and 〈x〉 for 〈chh〉 and use of Greek letters 〈Φ〉 and 〈Ψ〉 for 〈ph〉 and 〈kh〉.

Tone was not marked in the 1839 orthography. In the 1858 orthography, these were: â, ââ, a, ah, ay, ag and ah. In 1875 orthography, it changed into its current form.

Initially, c was 'ch', x was 'ts', b was 'ph' and ψ was k' (k-prime) in 1839 orthographies. In 1858, ch became c, and ts became x, with k' becoming ψ and ph becoming b in the 1875 orthography.
