meadish_sweetball Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 ป่อเต็กตึ๊งI understand what the above is, but I don't understand the language. Can anyone help. The language is Chinese, but I am not sure which dialect of Chinese, if I were to venture a guess, it cannot be Mandarin, as Mandarin Chinese can not end with the "ก" sound in the second syllable. Therefore Teochiu, Hakka, Hokkien or Cantonese are more likely. I dont know the meaning, sorry. ป่อเต็กตึ๊ง is a private foundation that helps out in traffic accidents. You see their sirened cars which will take people to hospital, etc. in the street every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
