Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/聯絡人 vs 联系人
contact person · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 聯絡人; on the Mainland it is 联系人 - both point at “contact person”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 聯絡人、聯系人 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.
