Chinese cuisine includes many different types of noodles (traditional 麵, simplified 面, pinyin mi??n, often written "mien" or "mein" in English transliteration). "Mian" refers to noodles made from wheat while 粉 or "fen" refers to noodles made from rice
Nomenclature of the noodles is difficult due to the vast spectrum available and the many dialects of Chinese used to name them. Each noodle type can be rendered in pinyin for Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin, but in Hong Kong and neighboring Guangdong it will be known by its Cantonese (linguistics)|Cantonese pronunciation, while Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and many other Overseas Chinese communities in South-East Asia will use Min Nan|Hokkien instead.
