Heard pronunciation ㄍ丨(romanization: gi) recently in a dialect of south western mandarin.
I was trying to trace it together with something else.
Seems like Hakka pronounces 机/機 ㄍ丨but I couldn't really see much else.
What Chinese language(s) have pronunciation ㄍ丨(romanization: gi)?
Yes, 机 is pronounced gi(pin yin) in Hakka. But not all "Ji" pronunciations have the same reflection. e.g. 鸡 is pronounced gie(pin yin) in Hakka, not gi.
Other examples I remember for now: 几，吉，记，季，寄，继，计，贵， etc. Of course, they have different tones.
gias a third person singular pronoun. – Wang Dingwei May 30 '16 at 5:53
