Online MOE Dictionary, part 2

I’ve had a chance to take a longer look at the Ministry of Education’s new Taiwanese dictionary. If you can read Mandarin well, you’ll find, in addition to the dictionary itself, lots of other good material on the site, including:

–A dictionary of proverbs (sample here)

–Pronunciation for hundreds of family names (sample here)

–Taiwan place names (including old names, MRT stations, rivers and streams, mountain peaks and ranges, and railroad stations)

–Family relations (this might be my favorite)

–Foreign loanwords

–Regional differences in pronunciation and vocabulary

–Body parts (sample here)

–Traditional seasonal terms
