there are at least two different Xie in chinese family names, so you should consider the other xie in this entry
Also, are you sure Xie has 9 mill. people with that name? Is there a cite for that? --bakuyaku 07:27, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
This page should not be merged. All should know that Xie is the proper pinyin of the surname (谢), and the "Tse" and stuff are all changes to make the pronunciation more precise. I know this, for my grandfather has four versions of his name, and his chinese name is 谢忠明, which is "Xie Zhong Ming" in pinyin. --*SMILYS FOR ALL!* Da.Tomato.Dude 03:27, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, Xie (xie4) is the proper pinyin. The rest should be under "variations". --- Laibcoms (talk | Contribs) 13:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Philippines "Sese"
Someone may want to reword, here's the information: The first Xie settlement in the Philippines was on Pampanga. It so happened that xiexie ni is thank you in Mandarin and sounds close to sese, which is thank you in Kapampangan (Pampanga local dialect). Over time, the Xie's were referred to as "Sese", and eventually they adopted it, also due to the "Chinese Tax" implemented in our country. --- Laibcoms (talk | Contribs) 13:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
