What differs, and by how much

Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 宏都拉斯; on the Mainland it is 洪都拉斯 - both point at “Honduras”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 宏都拉斯、洪都拉斯 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.
