Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/序列 vs 串行
sequence · Different everyday word
Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 序列; on the Mainland it is 串行 - both point at “sequence”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 序列、串行 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: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
