A recent search into the revised edition of the Mandarin Dictionary revealed a different pronunciation 'ㄗㄠˇ˙ㄕㄤ' for the word '早上' (morning) causing discussions online. The National Language Institute explained that the pronunciation in the revised dictionary aims to preserve early colloquial pronunciations for research purposes. It suggests using the 'Concise Mandarin Dictionary' for contemporary language usage and teaching, while the revised dictionary targets researchers and historical language usage, emphasizing the importance of choosing the appropriate dictionary based on individual needs and language habits.
