Mahjong
má jiàng
麻將 is the Chinese title for the game of mahjong.
Mahjong can also be spelled majiang, mah-jongg, and numerous other variants when played by people of other dialects. While the game originated in China, you will also find it played in Vietnam, South Korea, and Japan.
Sparrow
má què
maa jan
麻雀 is the common and specific name for a hemp sparrow bird in Chinese.
This was also the original name for the game, known commonly as Mahjong. You will still see boxes of Mahjong tiles with the title 麻雀 for sparrow instead of the modern 麻將 in Southern China. This title is also used for Mahjong in Japan.
