No tone on second syllable

[edit]

Why is there no tone given for the second syllable of the pinyin? I don't believe that's correct (it should be second tone). 24.29.228.33 18:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Although 琶 is second tone as an individual character, when it is used in the compound 琵琶, it becomes a neutral tone, according to the Pinyin Chinese-English Dictionary, which I have added to the references section in the main entry. -- A-cai 22:01, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Loquats are native to China

[edit]

This entry states that loquats are not native to China, but the Wikipedia article about this species states that it is native to China. 173.88.246.138 23:15, 10 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
