There have been several romanization systems for Min Dong Chinese since 19th century, which there have been some disagreements how to write some sounds. Currently, the most used system is Bàng-uâ-cê. Therefore, I've proposed another one that is meant to be used for writing of Min Dong Chinese (Fuzhou) that I think is more phonemic. It is now in a very early stage of development, so some changes may occur to it in the future as the creator see fit. For any questions please use the email link below.
