Would it not be simpler to just ask the gal what her surname Teo is in Chinese?
: Hi there!
:
: I need your advice if u could....
:
: Can a guy with surname, Zhang1 (Chong)(Hakka), marries a gal with surname, Teo (Though I can't be sure, but can assume safely that Teo is probably also Zhang1 and probably Hokkien).
:
: Which is more risky....a)couple with same surname but different dialect group, or b)couple with different surname but same dialect group?
:
: Would appreciate your advice.

: Cheers!
