From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Common Dialectal Chinese is a phonological system devised by Jerry Norman as a shared basis for varieties of Chinese with the exception of Min dialects.

Initials and finals[edit]

The categories were derived from those of the Qieyun, a medieval rhyme dictionary, and later rhyme tables, by merging categories not distinguished in the modern varieties. The assignment of words to categories is determined from reflexes in the modern varieties, and occasionally differs from the placement in the Qieyun. Similarly the phonetic characteristics of the categories are based on modern reflexes, and not the Sino-Xenic readings and transcription evidence usually also used in studies of Middle Chinese.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The spelling *-iu- represents [y].[1]
  2. ^ The spelling *-ui represents [yi].[11]
  3. ^ Expected *-iuai has merged with *-ui.[11]
  4. ^ The final *-em/p occurs only with Middle Chinese retroflex initials, contrasting with *-im/p, which occurs with Middle Chinese palatal initials.[15]
  5. ^ Northern dialects have the palatal form after velar and laryngeal initials.[23]
