Dominican Republic · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 多尼加 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 多明尼加共和國; on the Mainland it is 多米尼加 - both point at “Dominican Republic”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 多明尼加共和國、多米尼加 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.
