滇

2 candidate readings from Wiktionary — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. din6 is attested only for a separate Southern-Min sense ('to rise', of water), drafted as its own entry; the Mandarin-derived senses (Lake Dian, abbreviation for Yunnan, surname) also share this diang1/diêng1 reading but were set aside in favor of the Southern-Min-specific 'full' sense as more useful Teochew content.
