This is not a Mandarin article. Ireland’s Chinese name is a transliteration and therefore the meanings do not count. And Ireland’s Chinese name is made up of “Love”, “Thou”, and “Orchid”.
'''Cantonese''' is the de facto [[official language]] of [[Hong Kong]] and [[Macau]] and is also the lingua franca of Guangdong Province. It is a separate Chinese language from [[Mandarin]], the official language of [[China]], differing not only [[phonology|phonologically]], but also [[grammar|grammatically]] and in [[vocabulary]]. For example Mandarin has no word for "Ireland", but rather joins the words for "love" and "blue".
