Revision as of 10:12, 13 February 2009

This chart strives to document all regular sound correspondences between:

  • Middle Chinese and major modern Chinese languages
  • Middle Chinese and loans in Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese

Middle Chinese phonology and phonotactics

Permissible onset-rime combinations:

First Deng Second Deng Third Deng Fourth Deng
P,K Yes Yes Yes Yes
T Yes No No Yes
S Yes No Yes Yes
TR,SR No Yes Yes No
SY No No Yes No

Onsets

  • 1 = Ping tone
  • 2 = Shang tone
  • 3 = Qu tone
  • 4 = Ru tone

The chart will use "1" on top of Baxter's notation to show that a certain condition applies only to the Ping tone (e.g. "zi1" means "zi but not ziX and ziH").

* — The onsets 非敷奉微 split from 幫滂並明 sometime between Early and Late Middle Chinese, and this split is reflected in most Chinese varieties as an opposition between labiodentals and bilabials. The conditions for the split are

  1. All third-deng (等) and hekou (合口) rimes, or
  2. (Excluding 明 m) The third-deng (等) and kaikou (開口) rimes of 東, 鍾, 尤

Notes on omitted recent changes, ongoing changes, and allophony

Note for Mandarin — Beijing:

  • The following recent sound changes apply but are omitted to reduce clutter:
    • z c s [ts tsʰ s] > j q x [tɕ tɕʰ ɕ] / _[i,j,y,ɥ]
    • g k h [k kʰ x] > j q x [tɕ tɕʰ ɕ] / _[i,j,y,ɥ]

Note for Yue — Canton (Cantonese):

  • The following (not so) recent sound changes apply but are omitted to reduce clutter:
    • g k [k kʰ] > gw kw [kʷ kʰʷ] / _u ui un ut [uː uːi uːn uːt] (but not ung uk [ʊŋ ʊk])
    • gw kw [kw kʰw] > gw kw [kʷ kʰʷ]
    • For h [h] in the same environment, if h [h] comes from MC 溪 or 曉, then:
      • h [h] > f [f] / _u ui un ut [uː uːi uːn uːt]
      • hw [hw] > f [f]
    • But if h [h] comes from MC 匣, then:
      • h [h] > w [w] / _u ui un ut [uː uːi uːn uːt]
      • hw [hw] > w [w]
    • As can be seen, at least some stage of above change dates from before the merger of [h] and [ɦ] into modern Cantonese [h].
  • Up until the early 20th century, Cantonese had alveolo-palatal sibilants [tɕ tɕʰ ɕ] corresponding to Middle Chinese retroflex and palatal onsets, but these have since merged into the plain alveolar sibilants /ts tsʰ s/.
  • /ts tsʰ s/ may be pronounced palatalized, especially before the front high vowels.
  • The following changes are ongoing:
    • n [n] > l [l] (onset)
    • ng [ŋ], ∅ > [ŋ ~ ∅] (onset)
    • gw kw [kʷ kʰʷ] > g k [k kʰ] / _ong,ok [ɔːŋ ɔːk]
    • ng k [ŋ k] > n t [n t] (coda)
    • ng [ŋ̩] > m [m̩] (syllabic)

Note for Wu — Suzhou:

  • The following recent sound changes apply but are omitted to reduce clutter:
    • [k kʰ g h ɦ n] > [tɕ tɕʰ dʑ ɕ dʑ ȵ] / _[i,j,y,ɥ]

Note for Japanese:

  • The following regular sound changes apply but are omitted to reduce clutter:
    • t d s z n h [t d s z n h] > ch j sh j n h [tɕ ʑ ɕ ʑ ɲ ç] / _[i,j]
    • t d h [t d h] > ts z f [ts z ɸ] / _[u]
    • w [w] > 0 /_[i,e,o]
  • /g/ may be pronounced [ŋ] intervocalically.

Note for Middle Korean: the prescriptive spellings and pronunciations were ultimately ignored:

  • The "muddy" (全濁) onsets were pronounced (and spelt) with plain consonants instead of emphatic consonants;
  • The kh- (溪) onset tended to be pronounced without aspiration;
  • The l- (來) onset was pronounced ㄴ [n] when word-initial (i.e. the first character of a compound) (but see the note below about North Korean);
  • The ny- (日) onset was not pronounced when word-initial;
  • The ng- (疑) onset was not pronounced at all.

Note for Modern Korean:

  • The following regular sound changes apply but are omitted to reduce clutter:
    • ㄷ ㅌ [t tʰ] > ㅈ ㅊ [tɕ tɕʰ] / _[i,j]
    • ㄹ [ɾ] > ㄴ [n] / #_ (reversed due to spelling pronunciation in North Korean)
    • ㄴ [n] > ㅇ Ø / _[i,j]
    • ㅂ ㄷ ㅈ ㄱ ㅅ [p t tɕ k s] > ㅃ ㄸ ㅉ ㄲ ㅆ [p' t' tɕ' k' s'] after consonants (in compounds)

Rimes

  • P = MC labial (幫滂並明)
  • T = MC dental stop (端透定泥)
  • TR = MC retroflex stop (知徹澄娘)
  • S = MC dental sibilant (精清從心邪)
  • SR = MC retroflex sibilant (莊出崇生)
  • SY = MC palatal sibilant (章昌船書禪)
  • TSR = TR,SR
  • TSRY = TR,SR,SY
  • K = MC velar/laryngeal (見溪群疑曉匣影云以)
