Fujian people call children 囝. Read like "ji yang qie." Tang poet Gu Kuang had a poem "Lamenting a Child," written for Fujian people, so it should follow Fujian pronunciation. In Cantonese read like 宰, also written as 仔. In Wu dialect read like "e ya qie" or "na an qie." Varies by region, all local pronunciations.
