General

Information is from dictionaries and other sources. Pinyin reflects Mandarin pronunciation; for some dialect names, it is no more than a polite fiction. Korean glosses are tentative. Comments and corrections welcome. Hover over Green Lettering to see additional information.

The Chinese word for 'stork' is guàn. The adjutants are called 秃鹳 tū-guàn 'bald stork'.
