Ouw Peh Tjoa[edit]
- ... that though it was based on a Chinese legend, advertising for The Teng Chun's Ouw Peh Tjoa emphasised its Malay dialogue?

Article is new enough, long enough, and well-referenced. AGF for hook fact supported by Indonesian-language source. QPQ is verified. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 03:26, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:27, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
- You're welcome. By the way, what does the title Ouw Peh Tjoa mean? Just curious. -Zanhe (talk) 03:30, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
- Good question, and one I cannot answer of the top of my head. The transcription used in the Indies was certainly not the one standard now, and I think the peranakan Chinese used a Chinese dialect based in Hoakkian and not Mandarin (most were descended from immigrants from southern Fujian). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:38, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
- Based on a quick reading of transliterations, it would be written as O Peh Tsua today, or Black (and) White Snake. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:42, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
