==Names==
Jiangmen is the [[pinyin]] [[romanization of Chinese|romanization]] of the [[Chinese language|Chinese]] name {{lang|zh-hant|{{linktext|江門}}}} or {{lang|zh-hans|{{linktext|江门}}}}, based on its pronunciation in the [[Standard Mandarin|Mandarin]] [[dialects of Chinese|dialect]]. Its former [[Wade-Giles]] spelling was {{nowrap|'''Chiang-men'''}}. The [[Chinese Postal Map|Postal Map]] spelling "Kongmoon" was based upon the same name's [[Cantonese language|Cantonese]] pronunciation ''Gong¹-moon⁴''.
