Does xian mean county in Taiwanese or Chinese?

The word "xian" (縣) does not mean "county" in either Taiwanese or Chinese.

In Mandarin Chinese:

* 县 (xiàn) means county. It is a subdivision of a prefecture or city.

In Taiwanese Hokkien:

* 縣 (hiān) also means county.

However, the pronunciation differs slightly between Mandarin and Taiwanese Hokkien.

It is important to note that "xian" is not a word in Taiwanese Hokkien. It is the same character used in both languages, but with a different pronunciation.

If you're referring to a specific county in Taiwan, you'll need to provide its name to determine the correct pronunciation in Taiwanese Hokkien.
