Hi folks!

     According to my Chinese-English dictionary's english explanation
the 5th stroke is the "obscure" and "weak" pronnunciation.
     Perhaps they don't exist in mainland? That's why I never see it in
PinYin (The number 5). As I said before is supposely used in the end
of a setence to end it in a "familiar" or "informal" say.
     Perhaps some difference from Taiwanese-Mandarin and Mainland-Mandarin?

     Could someone explain these differences?
