> taipei (pronounced "tie bay")

Actually the consonant at the start of the second syllable is "between" what English speakers think of as 'p' and 'b'. It is a bilabial plosive that is voiceless like 'p' but unaspirated like 'b'. It is a common mistake for monolinguals to interpret latin letters in the way they are pronounced in their own language, not realising that they are often mapped on to sounds that don't exist (or are not recognised as distinct sounds) in their own language.
