Why jiu hoo kia surnames end with a H ?

[spotter542]

Why huh ?
Mat translation more accurate ? :p


Eg.

tonychat "anal-fucked loser" Teoh
tonychat "kum lanjiao" Chuah
tonychat "kiam karn" Neoh
tonychat "karn kar chng" Phuah
tonychat "toon xiao" Kuah

If by 'jiu hoo' you mean Johor, you're wrong. If by 'jiu hoo' you mean Malaysia, then it's a gross over-generalization.

Surnames ending with 'h' (Teoh, Chuah, Phuah, etc) are mainly seen in the Penang Chinese community, particularly among the Baba community. Those with such names in KL or Perak probably have ancestors who migrated from Penang.

KL, Perak and Selangor (and probably the northern fringes of Negri Sembilan) are Cantonese territory, with pockets of Hakka communities.

 

[sorechai]

Hoh is also another one. In Penang they cuss one another by say ' your mother phuah cheebye'

 

[MaximiLian]

so the 'H' is silent?

Just some of the subtle differences between chinks.
Once again proves my argument that not all chinks are the same
