Pronunciation

Peng'im: rioh8 zoi7
POJ: jio̍h-tsōi
Variety: chaozhou

Pronunciation note: Realised [dz] ~ [z] ~ [l] depending on speaker and register; many younger speakers merge it with /l/. The cited sources corroborate [dz], relaxing to [z] for younger/overseas speakers; neither attests the further merger to /l/.

Pronunciation note: Wikipedia lists /ioʔ/ → /ieʔ/ directly among the rimes fronted in Chaozhou/Chenghai — direct evidence, not an extension by analogy from the open rime.
