Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/波赫 vs 波黑
Bosnia and Herzegovina · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 波赫; on the Mainland it is 波黑 - both point at “Bosnia and Herzegovina”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 波赫、波黑 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
