Aside from one pointed by rasetsunyo, there is five = go. In fact, just lookit 'em numbers: yi ji sa see go lak cheet pek cow chap
Now recite the nihon-go numbers.... (use shi for 4, shici for 7)
I wonder if this is one of the factors contributing to the somewhat cordial Taiwan-Japan relationship (despite the WWII thing and the fact that Japan was a former master even before that).
(On an unrelated note, funny, former president and sometime cosplayer Lee Teng-hui berated Taiwan in nihon-go somewhere in Japan a few months ago. WHat a guy!)
The Minnan version spoken in Taiwan is related to the so-called Hokkien (a misnomer, hopeless case, but I will wank elsewhere) spoken hereabouts.
