Teochew Romanization, also known as Swatow Church Romanization, or locally as Pe̍h-ūe-jī (Chinese: 白話字; lit. 'Vernacular orthography'), is an orthography similar to Pe̍h-ōe-jī used to write the Chaoshan language (including the Teochew language and Swatow language). It was introduced by John Campbell Gibson and William Duffus, two British missionaries, to Swatow in 1875.
