Photograph

I was reading the post on accents and I have realised that perhaps people do not know how to say photograph in Teochew.

It took a long time for me to confirm that photograph is called siao2ian2 and it has taken me a long time before I heard a native speaker say siao2ian2. This word is now listed in Mogher

When I was studying Teochew, I was taught to say sion3piang3 for photograph which is a Mandarin word. My family called a photograph siao2ian2.
