* DubNameChange: Strangely, this applies to a ''place''. Specifically, the kingdom which most of the game's scene are unfolded is pronounced "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_(state) Wú]]", which is a different character (吳) from the "Wu" in Wu Zixu (伍/Wǔ). "Ng," the substitute, is the local pronunciation of this character in modern Suzhou (i.e. the historic Gusu) in Wu Chinese, the modern descendent of the language most likely to be spoken by Fuchai.
