Books of the Bible in Penang HokkienBooks of the Bible in Penang Hokkien (16 December 2023)


Bible-related Vocabulary in Penang Hokkien. The listing below is based on the Protestant Bible, with 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. I provide in English followed by Penang Hokkien in the Taiji Romanisation and Simple IPA in square brackets, as usual without tone indicators. As many Hokkien Bibles are written using the Missionary Romanisation, for the purpose of clarity I also include the transcription using the Missionary Romanisation in parenthesis. Also included is the Chinese characters for the Hokkien.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
